Swim Lessons

 The week before we left for New York the kids had swim lessons. Paige did a great job and she is swimming very well. She is working on her confidence in the water but we are very proud of her.

 Face in the water swimming.
 Back float!
 Logan is doing well also. He shows a little fear in the water so we will just keep helping him overcome his fear.


 Blowing bubbles is fun, mom!
Kicking away!
