Swimming Lessons

I got some new pictures of the kids at swimming lessons on Friday. Summer went with me to watch. Although she got to hot and wasn't really interested. Gracie & TJ love swimming lessons. Gracie's class is working on the back stroke, and TJ's is working on the back float and the normal forward stroke. Gracie is usually in the deeper end, and farther away. So it's hard to get pictures of her.

So here are Summer and me on the side lines.

Then here is TJ floating on his back.

And here is the happy little boy.

And here is Gracie doing her back stroke. I never could get a picture with her hands in the air.

Here she is again....still out there with the blond headed teacher.

The kids are doing very well. I am so glad that they are not afraid of the water. That is a terrible feeling to be afraid. At the same time, it's a little scary to know they aren't afraid of the water. I keep a very close eye on them when we are around water and no life jackets are on. I am paranoid, but that comes with being a mother I guess.

Summer's mother, Jennifer, will love this, but it's too funny not to tell. I think Summer could have a future in pedicures. LOL! She got hot while we were at the pool. So pretty soon she was under the bleacher. After a few seconds I start feeling her picking at the dead skin on my heels. I looked down there, and she was concentrating really hard on getting it off. I just thought...ok. Then pretty soon she was lifting my foot so she could get it a little better.....and then she was taking my shoe off!!! LOL! I asked her if she was having fun, and she said yes. So, I just let her be. Within a couple minutes, she was taking my other shoe off, and starting on the other foot. Embarrassing, yes. But still funny. I am in serious need of some moisturizer on my heels. I think Summer would agree.

Thanks for the pedicure Summer! We hope you had a lot of fun while you were out here.
