Swimming Lessons

The boys just finished their first round of swimming lessons, so be prepared for too many pictures :) I didn't take pictures the whole time, so on the last day, I took a million.

I love doing swimming lessons in the summer!

My kids love going to the pool everyday and love that the last day of swimming lessons is "slide day".

Bridger is so cute, that several different instructors came up to him to ask if he wanted to go again. He always wanted to go again. So, he got to go as many times as he could until class was over. When Bridger's teacher said that she could go down the slide one more time, Bridger dove into her arms so that he could be the one to go again.

Saxon was the youngest and smallest kid in his class. He wasn't tall enough to go on the slide by himself, so his teacher had to take him. She was a good sport and took him a ton of times!

Saxon's teacher LOVED him and told him how she really hopes to get him again.

Saxon (like Nate) has a hard time paying attention.

His teacher would have to say "Saxon, Saxon, Saxon...SAXON! Eyes on me!"

Then he would turn his eyes to her and wiggle his eyebrows at her.

She laughed so hard every time that she couldn't get frustrated.

She told him that he is a very good little swimmer.

The last activity of the day for the older classes was to jump off the diving board.
The teachers decided that Saxon was too young to go off the diving board.
Poor guy.
I totally understand because I want him to be safe, but I did feel bad for him.

Bridger's favorite game was "Chop Chop Timber!" and jump in the pool.

One night he was talking in his sleep and saying "chop chop timber..."

It was so funny!

Bridger would jump and dance and prance on the edge until it was his turn.

I liked watching "fishy in a basket" where whoever was the little fishy in the basket had to swim under everyone's arms to get out. It was really cute!
