Water Babies!

The girls had their first swim lesson last night...it was so much fun, for all of us! Ava was with the other 3 year olds, by themselves with 2 instructors. But I got to go in with Livi at the same time; it's just perfect to have them in 2 separate classes at the same time. And Daddy got to watch from behind the glass, maybe he'll go in with Livi next week...or maybe not. Anyway, the girls really enjoyed it, although it was pretty intense at times for Ava. Some things frightened her, but she was a trooper; they said she's a very good listener (I know) and unusually comfortable floating on her back! Livi's instructor was also impressed that Livi seemed very comfortable in the water, and we'll have her going under very soon. I said of course, her sister is always dumping water on her head in the bath. Sorry the pictures are rough; Dad had to take them from behind the glass.

How fun! Ava looks so serious in the first one! They'll be practicing their mermaid swim in no time.

Looks like fun - I hope it was for both girls! I hope they learn to like the water like their mother! They sure didn't hesitate to jump in the lake when they went sailing! Was the water cold, or okay for them? Can't wait to see them again!

I recognize that pool! So glad they are enjoying the lessons! Kiley had a crush on Mr. Joe - he was her favorite instructor
