In case you didn’t catch Derek’s facebook post last weekend, the big kids are taking swimming lessons at an outdoor pool through the rest of the winter. Lest you envy us too much, we hasten to add that it has been incredibly windy both weeks. Standing around in a wet suit in 60 degree weather with winds so strong they blow chairs over is not really as glamorous as it sounds. Despite the chill, both kids absolutely love learning how to swim!
Waiting for the lessons to start…
Elizabeth and I have parent/child lessons first. Today she was singing songs throughout the whole class. Her favorite game is “Motorboat,” and she put her face in the water several times today!
After we get out, Tommy has his lessons (without a parent) with the same instructor that we have. He was pretty hesitant last week, but today he was the first kid into the water. He had a huge smile on his face throughout the whole class!
Fun! That’s great that you get to swim with Lizzie. Looks like everyone is enjoying themselves!
At least you are getting some great Vitamin D! Even if the temps are cooler. I am impressed that you are in there with them! Good job! 🙂
Tommy looks so happy to be swimming! I love that! 🙂
