This past June we were incredibly lucky to be able to take swimming lessons at our local recreation center with a group of friends. Matthew and I donned on our bathing suits, lathered ourselves in suntan lotion, and headed to the pool every morning for a 30 minute swim lesson. There he learned how to kick his feet, make scoops with his arms and hands, and blow bubbles. It took him a few minutes to get used to the water, but once he adjusted he loved splashing around! His favorite was going down the slide! They had a "kiddy" slide that looked like a frog. His face would light up with the biggest grin as he went down and landed in the pool. On the last day we were able to go down the more "grown up" slide, which I was really excited about!! It is a slide that's tall and winds around in circles that eventually dumps you out in the pool. It was sooooo much fun!! My friend Kenee', who was 6 months pregnant at the time, was gracious enough to come sit in the heat and take pictures of us. Here are a few moments she captured....
Matthew "walking" on the wall towards the ladder. Once he reached the ladder he climbed out of the pool to his swim instructor and jumped back in the pool.
After splashing around, Matthew enjoyed eating the bubbles. It was HILARIOUS!! He ate the air like they were cheerios!!
Here's Matthew trying to reach for the toy by scooping his arms in the water.
Our group shot. So many cherished friends!!
