Swim Lessons

A sweet lady in our ward is offering swim lessons for two weeks at a time.  We thought it would be a great experience for Abby and Dallin since we will be spending so much time at the pool this summer... and this Mom only has two arms and three kids.  So, if not anything else, if they fall in - they will be trained to turn around, grab the wall, and pull themselves out or just float. Both of the kids are loving it!  They are so excited to go to "Swim lessons" - especially Dallin.  And we were lucky enough to get a later spot (Abby's lesson is at 6:30 pm and Dallin is at 7 pm).  This way the sun isn't beating down on us, we don't have to worry about sunburns, and everyone is just comfortable instead of sweating to death :).

Connor enjoys just being outside and watching the kids in the water.

Floating - not Dallin's favorite, but he still does it :)

  2. What a nice evening activity to cool off. Alyssa is right there with Dallin and doesn't enjoy floating on her back either. But check out that sweet farmer tan on Dallin when he is climbing out of the pool...means you guys have been playing hard and having fun!

  4. Looks like swimming lessons were a GREAT idea. I love that it's a 2-week thing. Connor is just adorable.. watching his two favorite people. Too fun. Good way to escape the heat for a bit! More fun times for the Wirthlins!
