Anyway, when I first told the boys we were doing swim lessons neither of them wanted to. But from the minute they got in the water, they couldn't get enough! I was so surprised at how well they did. They used to be pretty weary of the water, but not anymore! They did awesome! They didn't hesitate to go under the water or float on their backs and they had so much fun!
This is the boys at the pool with their new friend Sam :
Zachary is such a silly boy and looked hilarious in his goggles:
The poor kids were shivering everytime they got out of the water. Here's Karter trying to keep warm:
So, from day one they were begging to jump off the diving board. At the end of the two weeks they finally got to. Karter was the first one to volunteer but when he got up there, he got a little nervous. So he was up there for a bit but finally jumped off and loved it! (I would've posted the video of him jumping off but it was three minutes long.) A few other boys went and then it was Zachary's turn. He walked up there, looked around for a second and then jumped! He missed the floaty and gave me a tiny heart attack but when he popped up out of the water he had a huge grin on his face! In my mind, it happened a lot slower than it actually did when I watched the video:
I loved being able take my little fishies to swim lessons- it gave me a glimpse of what it would be like to be a soccer mom like I want to. And they had SO much fun and love the water now!

Ahhh I can't wait to take X. And I can't wait for the day when you do get to be a soccer mom. It's just around the corner I can feel it. Looks like the boys had a good time spending time with mom too. :)
