We're Done!

Today was the last day of swimming lessons! YEA! If you think I am excited, you are right!
Here is my list of reasons why swimming lessons are fun and not-so-fun:


NOT
wet bathing suits
50SPF greasy sunscreen
allergy to sunscreen
goggles that are too loose
goggles that are too tight
allergy to goggles that are too tight
wet towels
lost shoes
heavy bags that don't fit in the stroller
3 month old in the hot stroller in the hot sun
screaming like you are being tortured (Claire)
crying like mom will never return (Zac)
fighting other mothers for the 4 chairs actually in the shade



FUN
cute bathing suits on cuter kids
laughter
big accomplishments
smiles and waves
wet hugs
sno-cones
splashing in the baby pool with family
making friends
great looking swim teachers ;)
boat ride for the last lesson
memories

We are very proud of Zachary for passing Level 4 and very proud of Claire for not passing Level 1 but surviving it! :)

Hooray for Mom Maria! She passed the swimming lessons juggling act for the 2nd year in a row. Congrats to Zac and to Claire for jobs well done! Zac, you are a swimming dude. Claire, you are getting so good at holding your breath and putting your head under the water. Hooray! Here's to a lot of fun splashing for the rest of the summer.
