Swim Swim swim

This winter has just been so long, it has been crazy luckily we have found ways to cope, like swimming which is a major life savor for all of us, four of the five of us are water people through and through, and well the fifth is such a good sport he can't help but join the fun. This was Audryn's first time swimming, and she LOVED it, not a surprise given how she loves her bath time, she had so much fun. Doug and I took the kids swimming for FHE one night and some of our friends joined us, we have a friend that has an indoor pool and insists we bring the kids over so it works our nicely. We actually used the pool quite a bit this last little bit, we had a fieldtrip there for coop, we had an Easter party there and I did an Unbirthday party there for Activity days, we are very thankful for Linda and her kindness in letting us party at the pool.

 Here is dryn loving life in her boat, we do let her get out of the boat but umm she tends to try to swallow the pool so we half and half it.

 James and Addy have been doing swimming lessons and can do some strokes on their own without assistance, they are really progressing, but we still have them wear their vests when it is going to be crazy, or if I take them to the pool by myself 3 kids to one mom, better safe then sorry. The vests allow this little dare devil to use the diving board and make laps without my heart falling out of my chest. Mind you the lifegaurd in me is still probably overly protective and attentive to them, but a little freedom has given them both the wings needed to soar, they are doing great.

 WE do need to work on diving rather then flat face hitting the water, OUCH one would think he would instinctively change his landing, NOPE

 I am so glad they love the water, it is so fun to take them.
