Summer is for SWIMMING!

This month we have been swimming a LOT! The girls took their first swimming lessons right after the 4th weekend.  It was 2 weeks long and they loved every splashin' second of them!
Because of the times, Adelia and Tianna were in the same class (with my niece, Harley too!) and since Tianna has never had lessons before and there was literally NO WAY I could take Tianna and keep Adelia out of the water I just them both in level 1.  Thankfully, it worked out-- mostly! I just had to be out of sight. I mean, like hide and take peeks at them when they weren't looking.  Their teacher was none to subtle in telling me to get out of dodge whenever I tried to watch them.

But they loved them none the less!

Tianna ended up getting way way sick and couldn't attend the last 2 lessons.  But she was VERY capable of passing the level so her teacher just passed her.  Adelia didn't pass-- no surprise there! Next summer we'll be more serious about it.  

Since lessons though, Tianna has gotten really brave with swimming.  Her daddy showed her how to actually kick and get from the wall to us and back.  She learned more from him in 5 minutes than the entire session of lessons :) 

We have also just been to the pool a lot.   We have been up to the Helper Pool several times and last Friday we went to the Castle Dale pool with Luke's mom and Aden (nephew.)  

"Mom, why did you take a picture of my bum?"  -asked by T just now. haha. 

 On Pioneer Day, Luke's mom, Belinda and I just didn't feel like taking the kids to the pool... but we wanted to let them play in water on such a baking hot day.  We called up Grandma Peacock to see if we could come play in the water up at her house.  Her and Grandpa were so sweet, they went and bought a little plastic pool for them.  The kids had hours and hours of fun........ and Belinda and I could relax a bit and just watch.

 gotta love when grass and water combine!

One of the best parts of summer time is swim-time!
