Learning to Swim

On a suggestive tip from Mandy, we signed the boys up for swim lessons in preparation for having more water fun this summer. Mandy had enrolled Madison for lessons and knew that the kids would have a blast in the pool together. Since booking the class, we have been talking about taking swimming lessons with Hatcher for some time now and his excitement just kept growing. He would tell us that he was going to swim in the pool with Aidan and Madison...and last night he did. Well, after attending the first class last night Hatcher can’t wait for the next one. Aidan wasn't sure about the water at first, but warmed up to it. The water seemed a bit on the cooler side – but didn’t bother Hatcher one bit. Hatcher is FEARLESS! The instructor had the kids (ages 6 months and up) jump from the edge of the water into our arms, and it was at that point when Derek and I knew we had ourselves a daredevil. Hatcher would climb out and jump right back in, even if we weren't ready. Man, I am so glad we are signed up for this class. Madison had fun, but wasn't so quick to jump in when Brian wasn’t ready…but when she did jump, she would belly laugh so hard. They all had so much fun and didn't want to get out of the water.

Mandy didn’t get in the water last night and was there, new camera in hand to see all the kids swim…so we have some pictures of these cool “firsts.” Thanks Mandy!
