Swimming Lessons Revisited

At the end of June, Ash started swimming lessons. After the first of two weeks, he got sick (the kind where you have to stay out of the pool for two weeks..) So we didn't finish. Then we signed him up again. The lessons are M-Th for two weeks. Ash completed the two weeks and passed off his level! He really started to improve at the very end and was so eager to get in the water. He missed the last day b/c the whole family was very sick (except me, somebody's got to take care of them all right??).  And now Ash is doing lessons again in the next level! He LOVES it.  He is getting better and braver each time! It is fun to watch. I haven't taken any pictures of this 3rd time around, but here are a couple pixs from a couple weeks ago.

Then of course we stay and play in the pool or splash pad!

This pictures was great. They have a giant bucket that slowly fills then dumps it out. Ash was caught totally unaware! I only got the pic b/c Maci was done and we were sitting watching him play!

A picture of Ash's typical stance after getting out of the pool. He bends over like an old man because he's cold. Its pretty funny to watch him.
