Summer has officially begun with Brynn and Cade attending their first swim lesson today at a neighborhood pool near my school. Tami and I didn't know exactly what to expect and Brynn was so excited all day long. She couldn't wait to see Cade and get in the pool. (So she said). When we arrived, which was a little early so they could get a feel for what to expect, the kids hopped right in the pool without fear. Brynn did well at the beginning, putting her face in, blowing bubbles, getting pulled on her belly and kicking her feet in the water, and even playing with some of the water toys (to become acclimated to the water.) About 10 minutes into the lesson, she said, "I'm done now. I want out." Then she started whining and crying asking to get out every 5 seconds. So, she actually lasted longer than I thought she would. They got her to stay in until about minute 16 (lessons are 20 minutes each and are private), so I give them major props for their patience and encouragement they continued to give to her and their persistence to try and get her to stay in the pool that entire 20 minutes. Cade did REALLY well and really seemed to enjoy his lesson. It was fun to watch. Mister Mister had to sit on the sidelines and so did Mister Mister Tyler.
Now for the plethora of pictures:
Boyfriend and Girlfriend. As you can see, if they go to the prom together, Brynn is going to need HIGH heels. LOL
Much to his disgust, Baylen was forced to sit on the sidelines and eat Ritz crackers instead. Poor guy!
This was when she was starting to lose it and wanted out of the pool.

That's great that you have something so close! Everything that is offered around here is during the morning/afternoon during the work week. Not so good for my full-time work schedule.
The teachers are awesome aren't they? I used to teach lessons to kids starting at age 1; we had different rules "back then" (1997, hahaha)....Tyler's teacher doesn't let you swim anymore if you cry, in fact, she makes them sit on the edge of the pool and cry - they are not allowed to go to their parents. She's a bit mean but it seems to be working.
Brynn sounds like she's an excellent swimmer (Tyler spends too much time watching the moms - and girls, such a flirt!)
