swim camp

well our second year of swim camp and it just keeps getting better-i really do love this week and my kids look forward to it and start talking about the next year as soon as we're done. kelsi didn't do actual lessons this year because she took the highest class last year.
but she had fun keeping everyone busy with hikes, daming the river, bugging kara, and she loves to swim and she's pretty good at it too-alot better than her mother.

kaden was pretty challenged in his class, he was always tired and hungry by the time his 2 sessions plus dive class were over. he learned some neat things and i really should think about taking this class. i don't know if you can tell by the picture but they learn how to jump in with clothes and make floaties out of their pants. he really got stronger and learned some necessary skills in life saving. kaden has always been a pretty good little diver and his teacher last year told me he would be the dive teacher this year and to put him in the class. it was hard for kaden i think because it was right after his second session and he didn't think he was doing very good at some of the harder dives, but the last day they had their dive competition and the teacher judged them on 3 dives: one that they could do well, one that they improved on and one that they just liked to do. and kaden got first place-he was so happy...he won a reeses peanut butter cup, a green canyon swim pass, and a green canyon special burger.

kaden called it "meaty, cheesy goodness".

this is koys class it was pretty big and i was nervous but the teacher was the owner and he was wonderful: he called himself superman. i like how everyone is listening intently except koy-typical!

and i just had to get this picture, koy just can't keep his hands to himself...he's always pinchy pinchy to someone.

but he really did learn alot and has turned into quite the "koy fish". both him and brooke can jump off the diving board and swim to the side of the pool. i love to watch them enjoy the water so much, they seriously hardly ever tire of it. the minute we're done eating they're wanting to get back in...oh, i wish we had a pool here:(

brooke is so very good in class-she is so attentive and where she should always be. she would wait outside the pool like this until it was her turn...i loved her little ball:)

it was a perfect week(except the harry potter thing) and i can't wait until next year!!!
