Swimming

So Elyse and Sam officially did swim lessons this summer....I still don't trust them in the pool, though!

We have one of those funny looking mushroom pools in our backyard, which really is a lot of fun for the younger two.  Elyse is finally tall enough to stand up with her head above water....that helps me relax a little bit...but they're still not allowed to be in the pool unsupervised.  We have had serious scares with Elyse and Sam already this summer in other pools....this is why I am not a huge fan of water.

Being in the water a lot helps build confidence, though.....Elyse loves to jump in and swim with her face in the water. 

Sam constantly holds his breath and swims/plays underwater, only coming up for air when absolutely necessary.  Nice form, Sam!
