Idaho (Swimming Lessons)

For two week the boys were enrolled in swimming lessons, Mon-Thurs. They loved it! I was a little nervous about Spencer, he's always been more timid around water, but I had nothing to worry about. From when they got up until it was time to leave for swim lessons they never stopped asking for it. Jared had his cousin Katie in his class, goldfish, and Spencer had his cousins Megan and Emily in his class, minnows. It was a lot of fun. The boys enjoyed it and I got to visit with one of my sisters, my mom occasionally, and my wonderful mother-in-law who was there every single morning:).
Here is how I spent most of the mornings during the lessons. Miles wanted to get in the water and I would sit there and try to convince Emily to go swim with her class.

He keeps them amazingly well, along with sun glasses. I think it's cause they really make a difference for him and he likes that he doesn't have to squint. Plus it keeps sunscreen out of his eyes.Megan in front then SpencerJaredThey both passed their classes and Jared is to the point where he can actually swim. He gets tired fast though and is a little sloppy but he can swim:).
