Just keep swimming...what do we do, we swim...

A lady in our ward offered swim lessons this year. We have 2 kids who could really use swim lessons. Ta da, a match made in heaven!

The wonderful thing about this year is, unlike 2 years ago, Keira has overcome quite a few of her fears when it comes to water. Where before she wouldn't let go of her instructor, now she is jumping off the diving board and swimming to the side of the pool. Major progress!Diving for pennies.Ms. Dawn trying to get Keira to stop bending her knees.Krista hasn't had any swimming experience, so I was really curious to see how she'd do. She's so short that she can't touch the bottom anywhere in the pool, but she hasn't let that stop her. She has been doing great!Her cute little class has a lot of kids in her primary class (Krista is in the purple suit in the middle).I really enjoy watching the girls in their lessons, but I am really grateful that tomorrow is the last day. You see, I don't actually get to watch Keira and Krista very much because of this:Kassie is the busiest baby. In the last 5 lessons she has managed to break a glass garden ball, get into a stash of spray paint, scrape her knee at least 5 times, tried to escape to the street, and tried to walk into the pool more times than I can count. Here she is eating rocks and petting her friend Kailyn.

One more lesson...just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

It's so hard to enjoy things like that when you have to keep little ones out of trouble. You are a braver woman than me! My poor kids haven't had lessons cause they always have busy little brothers! But it looks like Krista and Keira had fun!
