Swimming Lessons

Court had a great idea to start Jack and Avery in swim lessons before summer arrives. We spend a lot of time in and near the water during the summer and it is important that Jack and Avery are comfortable in the water and know how to be safe. Anyway, our first swim lesson was today and it was a blast. We were pretty sure they would do okay since they enjoyed the pool in Mexico, but you never know. Lucky for us, they really enjoyed it. Jack couldn't splash hard enough. He even let out a few hollers of excitement while we were there. He was so animated that the instructor "borrowed" him to demonstrate each of the lessons we learned. Avery enjoyed the pool as well. She was a little distracted by her brother, though. There were 4 other kids in the class and one of them was not having fun and spent some of the time crying. Avery couldn't stop staring at him.

Before we got in the water. We couldn't get either of them to look at the camera, they were too interested in the pool.

Avery's cute ruffle butt. She and Court are checking out all the equipment.

A happy little girl and her proud mom.

Jack after his first demonstration. You may not be able to see it, but his hair is getting longer in the back and he has little curls. I just love it!

This is a short video of one of the songs we learned. You are supposed to tip side to side and dunk each shoulder as you sing "tick-tock, tick-tock, I'm a cuckoo clock". I got a little too excited and almost dunked Jack's face, oops. Avery has a slight wardrobe malfunction as well; luckily Courtney helps her recover :)
