The end of July, the 3 older kids took a 2 week long swimming course. They all really improved in that time. I was impressed! Emma and Arianna were both in the same class, level 2, and Grant in the level 1 class. Since the lessons were in Hesston, just down the street from where Kenneth works, he would stop by a couple of times to watch them swim. Since I was taking care of Kate, I didn't take any pictures, but Kenneth took a few when he came by. Thanks, Kenneth! Kate actually did quite well staying right close to me eating snacks and reading books until the last day when she was interested in going right up to the pool and throwing balls in again and AGAIN. Boy was I glad she didn't discover that until the last day of the classes! During the middle of swimming lessons, we had a string of unseasonably cool weather: 60s and 70s. I was in heaven! (I definitely have some California girl in me!) Our neighbors were cold. They actually cancelled swimming lessons 3 days that week. So, we had 2 make-up days the following week.
