Swimming


It has been sooo much fun having our own  pool this summer!  This is the first time we have ever lived in a house with a pool and we love it!!   We have also taken safety and rules very seriously. So I was amazed that within a week of swimming Savannah and Alexa no longer needed swimmies. Natasha was not going to be left behind and by June she was also swimming with no swimmies!!!   Whoo hoo! So we now only have Jadon who can not swim on his own and hopefully that will change very soon.

Of course it was cold to go swimming when we first moved in but that didn't stop the kids.  They insisted they weren't cold as their lips were blue and teeth were chatting.  LOL  We usually go in once or twice a day and since our house faces east west the afternoons (after 3) are perfect for swimming.

Here are some fun pictures:

Swim Lessons and Summer Fun

Summer time in Arizona is of course filled with lots of swimming and we are definitely doing are fair share. This summer I enrolled the kids in swim lessons through Parks and Rec. They completed 2 sessions for a total of 12 lessons. I think it really helped their confidence level.

At the end of their session they received a completion certificate and a free lunch at
Chick-Fil-A ...Score!!




We also spent time at our favorite public pool and this year we took the youth from our church along with us.






We try our best to stay cool in this "dry" heat of 110-115. Yeah a dry heat still feels like an oven! ;)
