Swimming lessons

I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog. I don't have the skillful crafty words like Tiffany. I cut out all the fluff and just tell it like it is. My skillfulness may develop now that I have some time. Last Christmas six of our grand kids received swimming lessons for a gift. So by the middle of January, they were learning to swim. They all enjoyed it immensely. Just look at those smiles. Priceless. At first they just got into the water and practiced getting their faces in the water.

Then they started using aids to stay afloat while they learned to kick.

Back floating.

Holding the side and kicking up a storm.

Joseph learned quick and was on his own a lot.Meanwhile, on the other side of town, these three amigos were learning too.For Kellan, this was just like a giant bathtub. He laid back and enjoyed the ride.

Someone was thinking it would be funny to pour water on their head. Well actually, this was how they got wet before jumping in.

Kick.

Harder!

Daddy, can we get one of these big bathtubs in our house?

This is a little Gretchen action.
