We finally signed up for swimming lessons this summer. We had a girl from our ward that had graduated high school and was looking to make a little bit of money before college. They have a heated pool in their backyard which was perfect for our girls as they will not swim if it's even remotely cold. We tried swimming lessons 2 years before and that was a disaster! The water was cold or not as warm as they would have liked, so my kids either wouldn't get in or if they did, they were shivering the entire time and didn't practice any techniques that the teacher tried to teach them. To their credit though, that week of June we took lessons was the coldest out of the entire summer. But I was pretty frustrated as I spend a lot of money for 2 weeks of lessons and nothing came of it. haha. Such is the life of a parent! ;)
Swimming lessons this year was a complete success! I was so happy! They girls all learned so much and now all of them can swim pretty well. Avery and Madisen now could go off on their own at the City pool and I wasn't worried about them drowning or anything. And Emily finally dunked her head under the water. Well, we could still see the top of her head but she felt to accomplished as she would rise up out of the water and tell me, "I went all the way under mom!" She would then hold her mouth with one hand and hold her nose with the other hand as she would take a deep breath and plunge into the water for 2 seconds and come out victorious! haha. I loved it. It was so funny and cute. We all got a kick out of it.
I didn't get a lot of pictures, mostly videos. But because I started printing out my blog every year into a book, videos obviously don't work. So I stopped posting those.
