Hanging out with Grandma Ina at the pool

We had a great afternoon hanging out at the pool with the kids great grandma Ina. It was a very quite day there. There was only one other man there for maybe 30 minutes of the almost 2 hours we spent swimming. The life guards were probably kind of board. I was so proud of my Caylea girl for doing this!



If you had seen her a year ago when I enrolled her in swimming lessons for 2 months at the Y you would not think she was the same kid! I think going to the spray park this summer really helped her with the whole water in the face thing. Do not get me wrong she is still very reserved in the water. I think if I had left her alone when we first got there she would of made even more progress but I had her in tears trying to get her to trust her floaties would keep her up. . .Grandma Ina got her and Carolina doing this though before long.



They liked the noodles much more than they liked the floaties. Caden on the other hand was not scared of anything. He jumped in so many times of course he was holding my hands but I let him go under water and he wanted to keep doing it. He also trusted the floaties. If they had actually kept his mouth and nose out of the water the whole time I have no doubt he would of been all over that pool by himself! I so not think they are really made for a child his age. The duckie we had is also a little too big for him the starting weight is supose to be 30 lbs and he weighs 25.

I can not wait to take the kiddos back I have no doubt if we go often enough they will all be confident little swimmers before long!

Here are a few pic's of my 3 blessings and their Great Grandma Ina.
