Swimming...

Peyton and Noah have been in swimming lessons for the last couple weeks. They have both made huge progress in the water. Peyton is working on learning all the different types of strokes and Noah is learning all the basics. Peyton was excited to learn how to do flips in the water. It is a lot easier to take the boys to the pool now that they can get around without my help.

I'm especially proud of Noah for being brave enough to go off the diving board. I don't think I dared to do that until I was 7 years old. This was his first year in swimming lessons and he adapted to the water pretty well.

Elizabeth and I took all the kids to the pool yesterday. We even got Lily's feet in the water because it was soooo hot outside. Matthew, Zach and Ellie were great at helping my boys get around in the pool so I could stay close to Lily.

We even pulled out the pool and slip n' slide at our house a couple times this week and enjoyed having picnics in the backyard. The boys would be in the water everyday if I let them.
