What a difference 3 years make….
Where did my babies go?!
Swimmers
Once swim lessons were over, Susan took the Bobbsey twins to the pool…
and Spencer passed the swim test and got his green band! Woohoo! He had to swim almost the entire length of the pool without stopping and then he had to tread water.
Go Spencey go!
Swim Lessons
Like the last few years, we did two weeks of swim lessons with Coach Laura. Previous lessons here – 2017, 2016, and 2015. Before that we did them at the JCC.
Samantha did a two week session and Spencer joined her for the last week for a few refresher lessons. They both did excellent. There was not one single tear from Samantha this year and she absolutely loved being in the pool the entire time. In between her turns she would swim on the steps, play on the beach, and mainly try to get the attention of everyone else at the pool! ha! She especially loved having her BFF from school, John, there and his older brother Stephen! It was not uncommon to hear her yell “Hey Steeeephen! Watch me!” 🙂
Samantha had no problem making herself comfortable at swim lessons!! ha!
GJ even got to come watch one day!
Samantha and John…
Spencer with James and Stephen…
Walking up the loooong drive!
and checking out Coach Laura’s chickens!
Maxwell was out of school for the last day of lessons so he got to come with us and swim!
Spencer swimming on the last day and Samantha swimming on the last day.
We all got to get a little treat afterward. Well deserved after all that great swimming!!
Splish splash!
Zoo zoo zoo
We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo…
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too!
We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!
Have a great weekend – maybe we’ll go to the zoo!
New Bike
Since Maxwell just decided he knew how to ride a bike, we needed to get him one that actually fit him! We went up to Cahaba Cycle to check out the options and he took one for a spin around the parking lot…
It’s a 24 inch bike which seems big for him now but will grow with him until at least age 12. Despite it being big, Maxwell handled it with no problem! He was pretty excited (even though the bike isn’t red). Of course Samantha had no problem entertaining herself at the bike store! ha!
When we got home Maxwell was off and running…rather, off and cycling!!
Go Maxwell Go!
