Swimming Lessons

I finally remembered to bring the camera to swimming so I could get some pictures. The lighting isn't all that great so some of the pictures are a little dark. This first one is of both the kids just after getting out. I think Maddux wore his goggles the whole time he was in the Rec center and didn't take them off until we got outside. They are both loving the lessons and love to play in the water. I think Brooklyn is more in it for the fun and talking to all the other girls. She is always goofing off and playing with the other girls instead of paying attention to the instructor.

At the end of Maddux's lessons the instructors let them jump into the water two times before leaving. I think this is Maddux's favorite part as he loves to jump. I know he could stay there all day and jump if they would let him. Notice he still hasn't taken off the goggles.

Here is Brooklyn working on floating on her back while kicking. She is picking up pretty quickly and can keep up with the other kids despite not having any lessons in the past. The kids love their instructor as he is a younger kid and will spike his hair into a mohawk. They constantly have water fights as he lets them all splash him at the same time.

Here is Maddux climbing along the wall waiting for his turn. The instructors are very good with the kids and can get them to do a lot of different things. It is amazing what Maddux can do after just 3 lessons.

Finally here is Nolan. He was so tired and wanted to go to sleep so bad. He would stand up and rest his head on my legs and close his eyes. However, he must have gotten his second wind because he actually made it until about 8:30. After swimming I ran a couple errands thinking he would zonk out from driving. We then went to McDonald's to get some dinner and he made it the whole way. He did however fall right asleep when I laid him down. Usually you can hear him talking and playing for 1/2 hour or so before falling asleep but he didn't make it 5 minutes. Well hope you enjoyed the photos and we'll put up more shortly.
