WW #70 "Swimming"

The kids love swimming. It doesn't matter where.

Here's one of them at the pond at my mother-in-laws.



One of my daughter swimming at Nantasket Beach, MA. It was a little rainy that day so the picture is a little dreary looking. And I didn't take too many because I was afraid of my camera getting wet.


And some of them boogie boarding at York Beach, ME.

My Daughter Surprised Us!

My daughter did something Tuesday that we were all very excited about. After years of swimming in lakes, oceans and pools. And after even taking 3 sessions of swimming lessons. And after years of coaxing and waiting. My daughter finally did something we started to believe she would never do.

What did she do, you wonder? She finally went under water! She is almost 9 1/2 years old, and up until yesterday she refused to go under water. No matter what we told her she would not do it. She thoroughly enjoys swimming and up until now would do everything but go all the way under the water.

Well Tuesday, we went swimming at a lake and she finally went under. Her brother was using the mask, and said he saw some fish under there. She wanted to see too, so she took the mask and with out even realizing it herself, she went all the way under.

Since then there has been no stopping her. She's swimming under water like crazy now!
