Swimming Lessons

We had swimming lessons again today. This is the last week. Here is a video of Gracie doing the back stroke and TJ swimming by kicking only, and seeing how long he can hold his breath.

I finally got a good picture of Gracie smiling in the water! Hi everybody!!!

They took TJ into the deep end today. He had to swim out to his teacher and back. You can't see him, because he is swimming...but that splash is him! I'm such a dork...but I'm just SO proud.

In Gracie's class today, they were teaching them to dive off the wall. Here she is ready to dive. And below is a video of her dive and swim back. She is in the rainbow suit. I am so impressed with her water skills.

And this is a shot of the little boy who belongs to the lady who watches my kids for me. His name is Xander. This is his first year of lessons. His mom, Casey, takes the kids to the pool once a week, usually. They love it. Thanks Casey for all you do.

Cynthia! Eliot and I love to look at your blog (especially because she won't wear her life jacket, and I show her Gracie and TJ wear theirs). Eliot loves to scroll down and look for the videos to watch. It's great! We can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!

Gracie,
I am excited to ride on the tube with you and TJ. I'll make sure to bring my life jacket so we can play.
