We have a new pool! Well, a new kiddie pool, but it has a slide =)! Peter and the boys set off on a mission on Saturday to get a backyard pool for the kids. They found this great pool and after folding it in half (almost) to fit it into the van, they got it home. The kids are having a blast with it!
Every summer we participate in the YMCA's Backyard Swim Lessons. The program is fantastic! We go to a pool close to home that is so unique. The enclosed pool is behind the owner's house at the bottom of a steep hill - so, each day we climb down a long staircase (no railing!) to the pool. Kip has his lesson first and then it is Heidi's turn. Later this summer, Derek & I will go to a "mommy & me" class together.
This is Kip's first year going in the pool without mommy and the first three days he was terrified! His confidence is now soaring, thanks to a great teacher who knows just when to help and just when to push Kip to try it on his own.
This is Heidi's 3rd year taking swim lessons. This year she is swimming without a bubble and is going under water and even sitting on the bottom!
We are so thankful to have such a great place to go for summer swim lessons!

Great blog! It's a really fun way to keep up with family and friends!
We are getting ready for our next family trip this coming week, but when we get back we'd love to have a pool playdate at our house!
Have a great week -- talk to you soon!
