The kids favorite FHE

So tonight we gave in and did the kids favorite Family Home Evening activity.  SWIMMING!  They all just love the water.  Bryan jumped off the diving board tonight for the first time. (first time in this pool, he did jump off the board once or twice at the pool in Lava Hot Springs when we were there last summer).  He was loving it!  He even tried (over and over again) to DIVE in off the board.  (Aaron was "teaching him")  Lots of belly flops, but he was having fun and just kept trying.  And he was getting pretty close on a few of those "dives."

It's not MY favorite activity, especially since Caleb is still a dog-paddler, with multiple breathing breaks required, but HE thinks he can swim as well as Aaron and he has NO fear of the water, so I spend my time trying to keep him from drowning, but it gets more and more fun, now that the kids are TALLER, (can touch the bottom in more of the pool) and the older two both swim well enough that I can pretty much just ignore them...  Makes family swim time MUCH more enjoyable for the mom!

Happy Monday!
