Monday night Braison and Lilian started swimming lessons.
My dad and step-mom had asked if they could put the kids into swimming lessons a while back, but we couldn't really find a place to go that we like. We tried the YMCA, but it was so incredibly packed that we weren't comfortable with it. Also, their classes are large and the kids would go every night for two weeks. That would be too much for us! A lady I work with was telling me about her son being in swimming lessons at the Nampa Rec Center; the class was small and they went a couple times a week. So, I looked into it, and it is wonderful! The kids go twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday nights for a half hour for six weeks. And, they only have 6 other kids in their class, so lots of one-on-one time with the instructor. My dad and step-mom have taken them this week and will probably continue to take them, it is something fun for the four of them to do together (also coupled with the fact that Ron does not really care for the water!).
Lilian instantly loved the pool. Braison was a little more aprehensive, but warmed up fairly quick. By the end of the first lesson they were both very excited and loved practicing "up & downs." They are so fun to watch learning new things!
