The boys are finishing up swim lessons this week and they have learned so much.  Blake is a strong swimmer and truly believes that this will be his last year of lessons.   I have tried to explain to him that although he can swim, it is important to learn each one of the swim strokes and proper technique.  Today he swam the length of the pool for 8 full minutes, completing a different stroke each time... he was exhausted!  Aiden continues to love his swim lessons and the 10 minutes of free time at the end of his hour long lesson.  

We have also had quite a few fun pool play dates during the past week or so.    We spend at least a couple of hours everyday at our pool or at a friend's house in their pool.  The temperature has been FREAKISHLY HOT so I have even gone in the pool every day!  Hope you're all finding a way to beat the heat!!!
