First week of summer


The Monday after school got out Devin and Avery started swimming lessons. On the first day Devin cried and screamed the whole time. Avery can already swim, so she is going to start working on her strokes. On Tuesday Devin psyched himself up and told me he wasn't going to cry anymore and he was good the rest of the week. He doesn't love going out with his teacher, Mr. Jeff, because he's afraid of going under, but at least he does it anyway and enjoys the time spent on the platform. As you can see from the pictures below Avery's class of only 2 kids (lucky girl!) were going to leave the beginning stage of diving, but then she decided she didn't want to and just jumped. She's having a great time and loves the pool!

From Tuesday - Friday Justin had Scout Day Camp from 3:00 - 8:00 with about 250+ other scouts. They were devided up into small dens and did a lot of fun stuff like archery and bb guns, just to name a couple. He had a blast and had a grin from ear to ear at the end of each day as he explained to us all that he got to do. What a fun start to the summer!
