Swimming Lessons 2013

 

 



This is Cole's 3rd year to take swimming lessons.  Although he has improved each year we decided to try a new teacher this year.  I am so happy that we did!  Miss Dana teaches lessons in small groups at her home (with help from her teenage daughter).  Cole finished up his first week today and has learned so much more than ever before.  He loves it and he loves that he is learning so much.  They are working on back strokes, free style and even some survival skills in case there was an emergency.  Miss Dana makes them work the entire class without much of a break so they get a lot of practice time.  And Cole is fairly worn out at the end of class.  At the end of the class each day Miss Dana lets the kids jump off of her diving board and swim to the side of the pool.  That has to be, hands down, Cole's very favorite thing to do!  He tries to be the first in line each time and loves to show that he is not afraid to jump!!  We could not be more proud of this little guy.

These smiles do not ever leave their sweet faces the entire time we are in the pool!  These two have loved swimming ever since they were tiny and they are thrilled that the air is hot and the water is perfect!  It took awhile for these hot temps to arrive but now that they have we are in the pool as much as possible.  I am so thankful to have this time with them and to see them become more confident and more brave every single summer.

An All Day Affair

Not long ago sweet Keisha invited the Burrow kids and our kids over for a play date.  Just some back yard fun together to beat the heat.  We had intended to play in the morning and then head home after lunch to rest.  It was so much fun - and our kids could not leave one another.  And neither could Keisha and I.  She is one of the easiest people to talk to and spend the day with.  So, we ended up staying the entire day....we ate, rested, played, ate again, played again and had an absolute blast.  These kids are like cousins....they know one another so well...it is awesome to watch.  We have witnessed the friendship of the older kids for the past 4 years and now the younger kids are the best of friends as well.  It melts my heart to know the my kids are loved by so many.
