Swimming Lessons

  Zack and Ryan had their swimming lessons this week.



I didn't think it was a good idea to put Ryan in lessons since last time he didn't want to go. I had to drag him and once there, he wouldn't do anything, especially not get wet..It started the same this year.



I had to force him to meet his instructor on Monday but he did better the rest of the week. He had practiced with Uncle James! 



He still doesn't like to put his head in the water but once he's done it a few times, he gets used to it.   









It was pretty difficult for Zack too. He was doing the last level before Bronze Medallion. He might do some of the Patrols levels to get ready before because it did look hard!








We went to encourage them every day. Aunt Ashley and Scarlett were there on Thursday, Keld and Kelden on Friday. 





They both passed!



Ryan still can't swim though, but we keep practicing in Grandpa's pool.





We have hope, Julia didn't like going to lessons either and now she's an instructor!

More July Fun

 July is almost over already but we have been enjoying the holidays! Swimming, board games, Lego building, reading, coloring... 


















We started printed characters Ryan would want to color so he could practice holding his pen (you may not be able to tell but we are actually making progress) but now he plays with them as if they were toys and always wants more...
