So this summer the boys have been busy with activities that I got them signed up with through the Youth Center. M has been busy with Soccer (Challenger Posts), Golf and Equestrian. I was able to catch the kids brushing out horses one day, another day they were cleaning out stalls...
you can thank me for only taking pictures of the first activity and not cleaning of the stalls. Once a week we go to the stables and the boy learns how to be more of a farm kid.
This week the boys have started swimming lessons. J thankfully is not clinging to the walls and wailing like back 3 years ago when we attempted the same thing with the boys. I seriously think J thought it was a half hour of torture, and he still might, but he is trying this time around.
His little determined face, or maybe he is just happy that it isn't any longer then 30 minutes.
M on the other hand is thriving this time, maybe the difference between age 8 and 6. M is determined to swim and keep up with his buddy A that has a pool in his backyard. M is less stiff and more relaxed then ever...maybe being able to touch the bottom of the pool on tippy-toes helps with that.
Swimming out to the rope.
Cannonball!
Swimming back to the ledge.
Jumping in from the ledge.
All smiles about the fun time at lessons.
Thankful for warm fuzzy towels. The pool is as warm as bathwater, but outside it was only 75 and SUPER windy making it chilly when out. The boys will continue through the 21st with this session of lessons, my prediction is M will go onto to the next level and J will have fun repeating.
