Summer Swimming

Gavin and Linnea had swimming lessons out in Carmel Valley this summer. It was quite a drive--25 minutes one way--but the valley is beautiful the weather is sunny so it was worth it. They turned into little fish in the water, and look like little Indians out of the water. (I wish I could tan like them!) Micah enjoyed some time in the water as well and loved the playground next to it. Jacen came out with us a few times when he wasn't at Grampa and Grama's house or Chris' house. Fun summer swimming times!

Gavin jumping in from the diving board. The first time we went to the pool he was really nervous about jumping off the diving board. His cousin, Carter, helped him feel more comfortable and offered to help him. Jacen stayed in the water on the side to help him if needed. Gavin tried it and then he was hooked. He LOVED the diving board and even learned some tricks on it.

Peek-a-boo Jace! He would pop his head in and out of the water--first playing with Micah and then trying to dodge the camera.

Lovely Linnea taking a break in the sun.

Jacen's famous hand!

Micah--I have such a hard time getting him to stay still long enough looking at the camera. He loved swimming and then the rest of the time we went to the park next to the pool.

(I feel bad that I don't have a picture of Maila to post. She is Tera's 7 year old girl and we enjoyed summer swimming with her as well. I only had one picture but her eyes are closed from the brightness of the sun! She's a sweetie though and loved spending the time with Micah especially!)
