Swim Lessons

     The last 2 weeks Blythe, Joe, and I have been taking swim lessons at the Civic Center pool just around the corner.  Blythe and Joe rode their bikes every morning which is a big accomplishment for all of us.  They were both pretty nervous going into it, but did great and got rave reviews on their end of class evaluations.  

Here's Blythe patiently waiting her turn with her class...

This is Mr. Tim (who Blythe called Timmy the whole time, I don't know if he told them to do that or she just decided that on her own).  She's preparing for her big trick...

Going under water!!!!

Then kicking back to the step, but she wanted to make sure I saw her.

Here's Joe with his teacher Mr. Jake.  I went with Joe to his class so he actually had little to do with Mr. Jake, but was kind enough to take a picture with him anyway.  Joe is excellent at kicking and scooping as long as you keep his face far far away from even acting like it might in anyway go under water.

 Highly successful 2 weeks.  Gave us something to do that didn't involve moving, and both kids are much more comfortable in the water.  An enthusiastic 2 thumbs up!
