First Swim Lesson

Dave and I have been looking forward to the opportunity to have Dave do swim lessons with Benjamin since our condo has a pool for the week we are here. Benjamin surprised us both and did amazing. He was brave and listened to his dad so well. He also caught on really quick. Here's some photos I took from our balcony of their first swim lesson (I have to stay upstairs since the littles are napping). 

Kicking.

Learning how to do his arms.

Practicing them together.

Going underwater! He has never done this before and he just went for it! Dave had the great idea to have him just look at the superheros on his kick board right beneath the water and then put a toy lower and lower. Having something to focus on really took the fear of going underwater away for Benjamin and now he loves doing it! His Daddy is a really good teacher!!

Going all the way to the bottom.

He did it!

Again and again!

I've been so amazed at how fast he's been able to swim (this was his very first lesson!). He tucks his little face in the water and gets those legs kicking and off he goes!

This is what was going on inside the condo:  Little #1

& Little #2

After the swim lesson, Benjamin was ready to veg out.

& Daddy went a little farther and passed out! : )

All this sun and activity is definitely making for some hard sleeping! Although these crazy kiddos still get up between 6 & 7 am every morning. Oh well, it makes it so that we get to the beach early each morning while it's a little cooler and then right when its getting too hot and we're all getting tired, we jump in the pool and cool off before heading up for lunch and naps.

The above pictures show some of our condo. We walk in to a good size living room, dining, and full kitchen and then there are two bedrooms (with a total of three beds) and two bathrooms. We even have a washer and dryer. It's a wonderful place and we are beyond blessed to be spending the week here.
