At the beginning of the summer, the (big) kids took swimming lessons. And they did so great! (Spencer told me many times how he was the brightest kid in his swimming class. Brightest, meaning whitest. Ha!)
Growing up with a pool, I don’t remember not being able to swim. Well, that’s not totally accurate. I just remember hanging out in the pool until I could swim.
It seems like I just watched everyone else, and eventually I knew how to swim. Realistically, this probably happened over multiple summers, and with a lot of practice.
But it doesn’t cross my mind that kids don’t know how to swim automatically, and that they need lessons and/or exposure to water in order to learn. Adam has had to remind me a few times that they need lessons. :)
So we did it, and Emma and Ben are officially swimming, and Spencer is on his way! Sydney wished she got lessons too.
Here’s what else we did some of this summer. I think these pictures are technically from early spring, but you still get the idea.
And here is a preview of the Exciting News! that we have going on around here. (Not what you thought, right?) he he
