Fun Day #1 at Swim Lessons 2013

'Tis the season...for swimming lessons!  It was Kari's first year in her big-girl non-Mommy and me class.  She LOVED it!  She was the only one who would put her head under water and even though some of the days were pretty chilly, she was always excited to swim.  (It may have also helped that they cranked up the heat in the pool!)  
Strutting her stuff...
The final day is always "fun day" and Kari was just itching for a chance to jump off of the diving board!  She remembered going off last year and warmed up to doing it all over again pretty quickly.

Does this little bear dare to jump?
Yes.  She dares!  (One of Kari's favorite books right now is The Spooky Old Tree.  She can "read" it herself and her favorite parts are when the three little bears dare to go into the tree, or through the hall, or over Great Sleeping Bear.  "Yes.  They dare!" she says.)
There goes Christian!
Emily enjoyed swimming with her friends and her lifeguard friend, "Miss Emily" (Miss Caitlin's sister!)


 Juliana also got to get in the water on fun day!  On previous days, I've had to chase her around b/c we aren't signed up for Mom and Me until our next swim lesson session in July.  (I've learned that it's not always very warm in the beginning of June and getting in the water did not sound like fun to me.)  However, Juliana has other ideas and now I'm looking forward to Mom and Me so I won't have to chase her around and keep her out of the water!

Daddy took the day off and was able to join us for fun day too!  We also packed a lunch and stayed to swim a bit when the pool opened that afternoon.  It was so much fun!

So fun! I love the pictures of Kari and Christian in the air. Awesome! :) I did the same as you with the mommy and baby class...first session was just way too cold so I signed up for the next one. Wish we were at the same time! It would be fun!
