Swimming

Shelb and Nate had the chance to take swim lessons every Monday morning at school this year. Brad and I were really excited about it. The kids weren't so excited, so we went to see what goes on one morning. We were totally impressed!! They really were teaching the kids - wich is probably why the kids didn't love it - it's hard work. But the results were amazing to us!
Nate used to be so scared to be on his back in the water - not anymore! His teacher used him for the example for the whole class - Go Nate!!
He jumped off the diving board all by himself! Another HUGE accomplishment for him!
Shelby is the backstroke queen! She likes the stroke the best and is really good at it! They really teach them the correct way to swim - and tell them what to do differently if they are making mistakes - another reason the kids aren't so excited about it:)

While I was watching the kids and being totally amazed, Brad found other ways to amuse himself

Think the kids were embarassed?!?! Maybe they realized swimming is not so bad, as long as Mom and Dad don't show up!


But in the end, he was a pretty proud Daddy too......
