Swimming Lessons

What kid doesn't love swimming lessons in the summer? Tate has taken them for a few summers now, but this was Ave's first year. We have actually been going to Stephanie, a college girl who gives lessons in her Mom and Dad's pool here in Shakopee, for the past two years.

It is really nice because Tate takes lessons with his best bud Garrett and Avery with Olivia, so they get pretty much undivided attention and have learned so much. Here are a few pics from this year's lessons...

Then its Tate's Turn...

As you can see, neither one of them is scared of the water and they both did an awesome job! My only problem is that Beckett isn't scared of the water, either, so I spend the hour trying to keep him from jumping in. =) Good thing Stephanie's mom has a lot of flowers to smell!

We just finished lessons last week and are sad that Stephanie won't be giving lessons next year. We're planning on practicing everything she taught us on vacation next week!
