Swim Lesson Success and a Pool Day of Fun!!!

Yesterday Swim Lessons were no go. We had long talks about it and after Sierra's swim practice she got an Otter Pop from the snack bar and Ashton didn't get anything because he didn't do his swim practice. So he promised everybody that today he would get in the water. Well, HE DID!!! We got there nice and early so he had time to sit and think and watch and look around.

Time to get in...

He swam to his teacher, Sydney...


He did some crazy kicks...(that is what Sierra's coaches call it :))



He blew bubbles...



He floated on his back...


He floated on his tummy...



He practiced his Freestyle arms...


Then he swam his best Freestyle...


He did a rocket ship...



He played Ring Around The Rosy...
"We all fall down"


Looking for Ashton's blue swimming ring that he tossed as far as he could :)...



Ashton getting ready to dive for his ring...



HE GOT IT!!!



Practice swimming...



Kicking...
GREAT JOB ASHTON! MOMMY, DADDY and SIERRA are so so PROUD!
We left Swim Lessons and went to a Cooking Class at Liz's house. Great fun to watch Liz cook and visit with friend's and taste yummy food. Thanks Liz! And thanks to Tim, Emily and Shane for watching the kids in the backyard. We went to Grammy's and ate some more yummy food and grabbed Lincoln so he could play with us and went to our "Mom's at the Pool" day. The sun was out today!



This hot tub was not hot it was freezing, kids don't seem to mind.

Sierra had fun with her friends, she even brought her mermaid tail. Here she is with Breann.



She was even laying out with her girlfriend's eating cookies and drinking lemonade. This is the life!



Ashton was practicing his swimming skills...


and his cannon balls!



Lincoln was doing alot of observing.

Then we went home for a bit and then off we went to Sierra's swim practice.


Ashton loves to play with our Toypedo with Daniel in the baby pool. They shoot it across the pool and then jump for it and see who gets it first. GREAT FUN!





He got 2 Ring Pops, lucky boy!





Sierra works so hard at her practice. She makes me very proud! She finished off with a Ring Pop too!
