Swimming Lessons

Kensie and Ellie have been taking swimming lessons for the last 2 weeks and have really enjoyed it. It has been a great experience for everyone. They had their final tests on Thursday and on Friday we found out that they both passed their levels. They had fun with the other kids in their class and loved their teachers. They both improved a bunch. Kensie even jumped off the diving board which she has NEVER done. I may have bribed her a bit. But she did it. Ellie also jumped off the diving board, but the day that I took the camera, her class did not go to the deep end. That is not a first for Ellie though. She has done it a few other times. Way to go girls! In fact Kensie was pretty sure that she could have participated in the Triathlon this year since she can now ride her bike without training wheels and has passed level 2 swim lessons and can dog paddle. So don't be surprised when you see Kensie enter next year.
