We Love Swimming!

We’ve had a bit of drama with our swimming lessons this summer. I signed the boys up for semi-private lessons in the beginning of June, meaning they were in the water at the same time with an instructor. Our first instructor was great … but we only had 4 lessons with her before she was either let go or unexpectedly quit. Between waiting to be assigned a new instructor and our schedule with summer camp, we missed out on 3 or 4 weeks of lessons. So much for my goal of Alex swimming by the end of summer! Thankfully, we have friends with neighborhood pools. Alex seems to have gotten over his fear of water and Spencer is practically a fish already, so our new lessons with our new instructor have gone better than I could have imagined.

So proud of Alex … happy to kick and no crying with teacher #2!

First Road Trip of Summer 2015

To celebrate summer, we went to Amanda’s house to swim and play with her kids. We try to get together as much as we can, but it’s usually a few months in between play dates. I think our littlest boys are actually starting to remember each other. Things are going to start getting wild with these four!

Spencer had tons of fun playing on the steps of the pool with Ace. He did let me walk him around the shallow end once. Alex went to the second step and decided the pool was too deep and too cold. So, he spent most of his time throwing in toys for me to fetch and squirting me with his water gun.

What an evil expression on his face!
