This past week Carter got his second round of swim lessons this summer, and his Great Grandma taught him! She was wonderful! She truly is an amazing woman and it was so great to spend time with her and have Carter spend time with her!
She had quite the crew to teach. She taught all four cousins three swim lessons a day for three days! Grandma Ski pretty much lived in the pool!The kids made GREAT improvements!
My mom also helped with the 2 year olds. Here is Cole helping entertain Carter by pretending he was a shark! We love you mom!
Grandma Ski said she has never seen such a strong little 2 year-old, both physically and strong willed! When he felt like it Carter did a great job! But on the other hand when he did not want too, he could put up quite the fuss!
He of course wanted to spend the whole day shooting hoops in the pool! This was the first time my grandma had to teach swim lessons using a basketball as a kid board! Hey, whatever works, RIGHT?!
The kids used the baby pool as a floating device...which was quickly named the "Pool of Death." The kids would fall and it would sink, but they loved it! Notice the tight grip by adults on all sides of the pool!
Since we swam all day long the 2 year-olds had to go down for naps. Poor Sammie Lou's room looked out into the yard. She could see her big brothers swimming and playing in the pool while she had to nap! Poor Lou-Lou!
Cole and Drew had to wear the "Samurai Hair Do" so their hair would not get in their eyes when they swam! Needless to say their dad was NOT happy about that! He threatened the buzz!
It was a great 3 days spent hanging out by they pool! It was so great to spend the day with my mom, sister and grandma! Plus Carter was so pumped to swim with his cousins!
Thank you, Thank you Grandma Ski for helping Carter! I am so glad he got the opportunity to do that! You truly are an amazing person....we love you! Thank you mom for all the Diet Cokes, Popsicles, snacks and heating the pool! We LOVE YOU!
