The boys are doing a crash-course in swim lessons this week. Just 30 minutes a day. Their first day was yesterday and Geoff had the day off so he came with us. The first thing the instructor wanted them to do was "bob" and she proceeded to just dunk herself underwater for four or five times. Riigghht. I can't even do that! Shhh. So apparently the tiniest girl in their group loves going underwater and had no problems doing the "bob". Then the instructor gets to J and W and they look at her like she is CRaZy. I just looked at Geoff and we laughed - you would never know we spent hundreds of dollars on lessons for them while we lived in Florida! But I don't regret it at all...their lessons were a few times a week at an amazing complex in Destin. While Geoff was deployed that was our main activity of the week! The boys would get in their suits, we would drive the 30 minutes to Destin - and making a Starbucks stop for my grande coffee frappuchino light-and then proceed to the lessons. And I could sit in the hot sun on a balcony and enjoy my frappuchino and watch the boys learn to swim for a full hour. It was my little retreat during the day.
The boys had fun. W looks pretty happy in the pic above, considering he argued with us all day about going into the pool. He said he was just going to sit on the bench and watch.
It is time for our next lesson. Until next post.
