The last day of session #1

Zander's first day at the pool to watch the girls swim.  He wasn't to impressed.
Lifejacket's were fun in the deep water.
Some serious concentration going here.  Aubrey gives it a try first today.  If it works for her it will work for Sissy.

Scooping your hands, not tiger hands in swimming.  
Grandma don't catch us , I can do it my self.

3 1/2 years in Review

We are still happy swimmers.......
1 1/2 half years old and still smiling....
9 months and loving it.....
Our first time in  Grandma's pool.... 3 months

Day 6 and the 7th Day we rest...

Going under on their own is a new trick today!!!!!
Sucking up the nose is not good and she won't do it again......
Looking at the fish and all the colored toe nails

More brave moments

This is Sissy(Isabelle) going down the slide finally on her own.
Don't jump on Swimming Grandma's face, just her arm, right there.
Enjoying Baby Mountain after a fun day at the pool. Independence is great.
Going under the water is a good thing, blow the bugers all out your nose girls as you go down.

the first 6 intensive days of swimming lessons


Being the bravest first shows the way for the other one.  Aubrey leads the way.
Doing the rain dance before the big dump.
The bucket dumps water on them and its taken a lot of bravery on their part to sit under the bucket to wait for the blast of water.
After the first couple of days they progressed in being pretty comfortable in the water. 

Edward the Saab

Edward is the resistance of all the Saab's Robbie has owned but he has been broken.  Being named after the infamous Edward , the car has taken a few months to repair on the few days Robbie has had off from full time school and full time work.  It is spring and he has high hopes for the repairs to be finished soon.  
Robbie has even called in the master of overhaul to aid him in the final major fix.
Robbie has lots of extra bolts and nuts and not sure where they go but they will all find a home to make Edward whole again.
Edward we look forward to your return and in hope of having the power to be sleek , charming and mysterious.  Edward we will look forward to seeing you in the sunshine soon.
