Swimming Lessons

We had a very busy, but fun week with Bible School and swimming lessons.  We were on the go constantly, but made lots of memories.  Lillian promised she'd learn to swim when she turned 5, and I am happy to say that she is well on her way.  I think Mel is pretty awesome!  She makes the journey from Fairhope one week each year and works her magic!!  The parents and grandparents come on the last day to see all that they have learned!  So fun!!

Bucket head, bucket head, Lillian is a bucket head!  It seems like yesterday that Maddie was doing this.  We also played bucket head in the bathroom each night!



That smile will move mountains one day!! Putting her face in the water is a monumental improvement!!  I firmly believe that once you master this, you are well on your way to swimming!

She actually kept her face in the water for 5 seconds!  We were thrilled, but she briefly cried!! 

Floating!

Sweet, sweet group and an awesome teacher!

Next up - Maddie's group!  These are all very good swimmers, but they worked on strokes and diving primarily.

Free time on the diving board!

And she's off!

Watching Big Sis!

Diving!

These two became friends at Bible School, and we were thrilled that were also together at swimming lessons.  Tatelyn's mother and grandmother are two of my favorites, so I hope this friendship will just keep growing!  We plan on getting these two back together as soon as possible!

Mrs. Marie's dog Lucy was a big hit!!

What an awesome week!  Thanks Mel!!
