The End of Swimming Lessons

After 8 weeks, Katie and Erik finished their first swimming session. They did really well. I was quite proud of them. So neat to watch them learn something so valuable - and not even having to teach it to them yourself! So awesome to see your children start to succeed - almost makes you have a few tears. 
This is what Laura would do during the 45 minutes of swimming lessons...go up and down, and back and forth, freaking out all the "safe" parents with her antics. :) She loved to practice climbing the stairs, and made a bunch of people smile over her cuteness. 
Erik with his teacher. 
I loved the setup here - the city's Aquatic club puts in on, hosted by the Ross McDonald Blind School. Almost every child (especially the younger grades) has their own teacher, which is awesome. 

Laura sweating it out, as she waits and waits....

Love how Katy and Erik are both in this shot - one on the back, and the other on the front. They always were so glad to see each other during the lessons!
Katy was so determined and loved trying hard. She put her whole self into it!

With their teachers at the very end. :)
After getting the kids changed one last time, I brought them up to the spectator gallery so they could see where James and I sat with all the other parents.

Great friends most of the time. :) 
Off to be picked up by a great daddy, and two other little sisters in the waiting van.
