Swimming

We put the kids in swim lessons and they had a great time!!! Austin had one of his friend, Russell, in his class which was fun and Mikayla was always super excited to get her swimming suit on whenver I told her we were going swimming!!

Craig went with Mikayla to Aqua-Tots. Mikayla's favorite thing was jumping off the side of the pool into the water. She also enjoyed playing in the water to the songs of "Wheels on the Bus" and "If Your Happy And You Know It."

Being as independent as she is, Mikayla didn't always want to participate in the way that the teacher was instructing but wanted to do her own thing. This sometimes drove Craig a little crazy.

Austin was in Starfish and it was fun watching him following directions from his teachers and learning new swimming skills. Some of the things he worked on was putting his own face in the water and blowing bubbles, backfloating, kicking with straight legs, and jumping in the water.

Austin loves to jump in the water but was a little timid because the teachers would stand far away from him. Sometimes it took a little coaxing from his teachers for him to get brave enough to jump!

Just getting ready for a summer that I'm sure will be full of swimming fun!!!
