Swimming

Some of our friends have a pool that we plan on frequenting a lot this summer! This was one of our trips from a few weeks ago.

Hannah loves swimming. This was actually before her swimming lessons, so she has on her life jacket.

Nathan’s not too crazy about the water. He would rather play ball.

Funny story about Nathan’s swimming lessons.  It seems we may have a ladies man on our hands. He and Hannah took lessons from a young guy named Mr. James. On the 3rd day it was obvious that Hannah was doing much better than Nathan. James wanted to spend more time with Hannah, so he told Nathan that his little sister, Beth Anne, was going to help him. Nathan was upset and said he only wanted Mr. James. Then Beth Anne walked out. She was a cute little cheerleader and had a two piece bathing suit on. She smiled at Nathan and held out her hand. He smiled really big, took her hand and went right with her. It reminded me of that Sandlot moment when the little boy with the glasses stares at the lifeguard, Wendy Peffercorn. That evening at dinner Scott asked him how swim lessons went. Nathan put his hand on his cheek, his eyes glazed over, then he smiled and very slowly said “Really great.”
