All of the kids are on their last day of Swimming lessons! It has been a great experience and they are all 3 jumping into the water with no fear. Channing and Olivia can both jump off the board without a jacket and swim without help to the side of the pool. Gavin is also jumping into the pool. Today in Lessons, he learned to jump off the side and then his Instructor let him go and he swam back to the side! Later, she told me that next year when Gavin takes lessons, he is going to skip ahead a class since he is already going underwater and jumping off the side without fear! She also informed me that he has helped a few other kids get over their fear of going under in the class. Channing was braving doing a flip off the board today, but chickened out last minute *whew* I was worried there!
Last week, my parents and I took the kids on their first Hike. It was a little stressful on them considering the heat. We are definitely going back when it cools off. The mosquitos were horrible and we forgot repellent. The kids did have a blast catching Butterflies and playing in the Creek!
