Swimming!



Christopher has as much fun in the pool as his kids, I think! Oliver wasn't real thrilled about whatever they were doing here, but Magnus is having a blast!!

















Pam and Effie stayed out of the way of all the horseplay, but Effie got her two cents worth in, for sure!












Effie is a little mermaid! She doesn't care if the water splashes her and likes to drink it! Yuck! She also likes to throw herself backward and dip the top of her head into the water! :)



Oliver is still a bit timid. He really doesn't like water in his face, however, he doesn't have any trouble splashing you! He has really come a long way toward learning to be a swimmer. He has a very good kick and paddles all over the pool with his life jacket on. It won't be long and he will be swimming like his big brother. If he happens to fall in, we just tell him he had a good dive and he is okay with it! lol

Magnus has done excellent this year with his swimming. He now can enter the pool without his life jacket, as long as there is an adult in the pool. He has even learned to go in head first! (We'll have to put restrictions on that in another year!) His best feature this last week was his A+ cannonball! I'm very proud of his accomplishments in the pool! :)
