Today was our first day of Grandma's swimming lessons. 
We started out teaching them to hold onto the side of the pool. Kaiden did it the very first time we told her . 
Kenedi.... not so much. She thought she was an Olympic synchronized swimmer. Didn't want to hold onto the side, or mommy or grandma nor wear ANY kind of flotation device. DESPISED the new swim vest, screamed at the thought of being put into an inner tube and acted like we were ripping her arms off when we put her floaties on her. Since she couldn't decide which life saving devices to wear so Mommy decided for her and needless to say she was less than pleased. After a little time out on the side of the pool she decided that the floaties were just PERFECT and had a great time. She was the first of the 2 to let go completely and "swim" on her own. She even blew bubbles and came up for air and kept swimming. She definitely has NO fear which is VERY scary to mommy.

She isn't as fearless which makes for less dramatic alone swimming time. She just hung out, kicked her legs and grinned at us!!
Lessons will continue through the weekend......

I love the pics! My two love the pool also, however they will not let me put any floaties on them. It is scary cause they too want me to just let them go. Have a great time there. Call us when you get back.
