My Little Fishies!

We have been busy and that is a lousy excuse for not blogging. Everyday for the past 2 weeks, we have been heading to swim lessons - oh how I love summer! Drew was in the Tadpoles class and Ally was a Big Dipper. They both learned SOOOOO much and had a lot of fun. I hope to do another session close to the end of the summer.


Ally can float on her back and stomach. She is also starting to do the crawl (scooping ice cream from her teacher) stroke. It isn't pretty, but she is getting it! She is also better than her Daddy already. At home she has been working on diving to the bottom of the pool to get the diving sticks or torpedos. We have been working on using the froggy stroke to do that since it helps us get to the bottom faster. The above picture is Ally's class playing some game. We weren't suppose to be on the deck so I didn't get good pictures of her class since they were on the other side of the pool.


Drew is starting to float but is still hesitant. He is also getting used to hold his breath under water which is quite an accomplishment. He is afraid of bugs or floaties in the water so he is always searching for them to make sure they don't get on him. The picture above is doing "motor boat - oh so slow..." to learn how to kick fast and slow.

A fellow teacher, Jen's, daughter was in his class. Drew and Ella had a lot of fun. On the last day which happened to be on the 4th they were the only ones in class and got a lot of great attention.

The day was a lot of play and free time. My kids love each other and going down the slide together. I am glad they had class on the fourth. Typically Jason would get to see what they did only hear. Since he was off, he got to go with and enjoy seeing what they had done in class.
