This week we've had the kids at swimming lessons. This year however, it has been at a new place. Mrs. Lou Lee has been giving kids swimming lessons for many years and it shows. She knows exactly how to handle the kids and what to teach them to keep them safe. She's also a bit of a football coach when it comes to teaching swimming so she's no one to take lightly!
First thing the kids learned was that she was in charge! After that was established, they learned how to swim. Well, Owen mostly since Elizabeth is still slightly young. By the end of it, Owen swam the length of a serious pool totally by himself. Taking breaths and all! Elizabeth even swam, slightly assisted, under the water.
Mrs. Lou Lee pushed the kids and pushed them hard but they learned more in that one week than they have in all the years prior taking swimming lessons at a different place.
Thank you Mrs. Lou Lee!
Yesterday we were invited over to Nonna and Pop's house for a 4th of july cookout and party. They always do a backyard BBQ up right. Burger, hot dogs, tons of sides, plenty of appetizers and it certainly doesn't hurt that my brother, Colton, is a bartender.
The kids were playing together and having a great time. They were certainly enjoying the food!
We were sad to go but once it got dark, we had a date with some fireworks so we told everyone good bye. We definitely enjoyed it though!
