YMCA Splash Week

This week was the much anticipated (by the big kids) YMCA Splash Week.  It is a week of really, really basic swim "classes" to determine where you might want to place your kids in swim lessons.  It is $10/child...a steal!  I have really dropped the ball on swim lessons and thought this would be a perfect way to see if the kids would even enjoy them.  Turns out they LOVE swim lessons.  I should have known they would be fish, they love baths and the hot tub.

Jameson missed out on most of his lesson because he was too busy bobbing up and down in the water.  Goofing off...surprise, surprise.

Sitting still for one minute.

Swimmin'!

Bobbing!

Sorta creepy.

There he goes!

SO happy.

Boat training.

A little nervous...

Lovin' it!

Brooklyn was super in to it and her teacher was impressed with her progress in a matter of a week.

Patiently waiting for her turn.

Such a cutie.

Showing her true colors.  :)

Oh Geez.

This comes from her soul.

Anxiously waiting for her teacher.

Splashing her classmates.

So, long story short, I will be signing both of them up for swim lessons in the Fall.  Summer classes are WAY too full.  Oh, did I forget to mention how much these half hour classes tuckered them out?!?  Two hour naps each day and they ate lunch without any nagging.  Sigh.  I love swim lessons.

A few outtakes of the kids not so patiently waiting for their turns:

Sooo tired of waiting.

Yelling in the echo-y pool area.

Mad that it isn't her turn.

Trying to get her to laugh.  Fail.

She photo-bombed our picture.

Double photobomb.

If you are thinking, "poor Emmett," I will gladly take you up on your offer to jump in the pool with him for swim lessons.  I honestly think he might be capable of drowning me.  So, I will wait until he can take the class on his own and is a little more independent.  Poor Emmett.  :)
