My sister, Rebecca, came down to visit and offered to teach Makenna how to swim this summer. She has always loved water and started swimming on a swim team when she was young and later worked at a community pool teaching kids of various ages to swim. We are so excited that she is willing and able to teach Makenna to swim! And since we got a new DSLR camera, this was the perfect opportunity for me to try it out. Beth and Jason have a community pool and so we headed over there to allow Rebecca, Makenna, Jason, and Wyatt to swim while Kyler and I hung out in the shade and took pictures of the kids swimming. Makenna was good about leaning back and floating in the water (or sunbathing in the water),
kicking with the kick-board (which was her favorite part),
jumping in the water,
paddling around,
and very unfavorably going under water.
Although Makenna didn't like going under the water, Wyatt could not get enough of it. He always came up with the biggest smile on his face and kept wanting to do it over and over again.
They didn't last a long time in the pool as it was a little too cold. But they warmed up and had such a fun time!
Later that night, Kyler had his first experience with water too. He got his first real bath! He loved it and Makenna had a fun time helping to bathe baby brother too:-)
