This summer we put Ellie and Carson in swim lessons at the local High School. My kids aren't the biggest fans of the water or getting their faces wet, but by the end of summer they were LOVING it and couldn't get enough (well at least ellie was. carson is still a little unsure.) So Ellie started off in the Tiny Tot class and half way through graduated to Level 1! She learned how to blow bubbles, kick, make ice cream scoops, and dive for things under the water. She even jumped off the lifegaurd tower with her instructor the last day of class! Carson was in the Parent/Child class with Daddy and had a pretty rocky start. He would cry for the entire half hour for the first week! Slowly, but surely he got better and by the end he was kicking on the kick boards, going under the water and blowing bubbles. He would even go with the instuctors out to the deep end a couple of times! Since Carson did so good not crying his instuctor gave him 2 lollipops at the end!(a little bribing goes a long way with carson) All in all it was a sucess! The kids had a blast and learned a little along the way!! Ellie has turned into our water bug. I can't get her out of the bath anymore cause she is too busy practicing her moves :)
Ellie's 1st day of swim!
Carson was happier on the steps :)

Your kids did get so much better at swimming. I no longer dislike washing your kids hair, because they do so well now. You have been busy updating your blog, glad it's working now.
They are just too cute! AND looks like swim lessons were a HIT! YAY!
