Swim Lessons

SWIM LESSONS!!!

We signed the girls up for swim lessons this summer. They got a new swimsuit and towel to make the week a bit brighter! In their own words they've learned how to do "front floats, back floats, front glides, kicks and nose bubbles." My pride has grown watching them both conquer a new skill they will use the rest of their life. In the midst of these first two weeks, I have met and become friends with another mother whose children were also taking lessons.

Last week, they thought that they were done but we slipped another 2 weeks in on them! Duane had a day off last week and was able to join us for lessons and fun in the park.

Afterwards, as an incentive for them, we took them to one of our favorite restaurants in town, a little cafe', and we treated them to lunch. After lunch, Duane surprised them by buying them each a chocolate covered strawberry. Annie thought that it was delicious!Annie and her monkey
