The big boys just completed an 8-day course of swimming with teenage-instructor Mackenzie.  And what luck to find that our favorite little girls were the only other participants in our session!  Caleb and Lexi swam together, and then Jacob and Megan (the only girl that Jacob can stand to be around).  And I got to visit with Dana every morning – perfect!  Poor Samuel was so sad everyday that he couldn't go "wimmie" (swimming).  But he got a good treat at the end which seemed to pay great dividends (a tootsie pop and a quick dip in the pool to wash off).  My boys are swimming well and have really advanced in their skills – I love that they are not afraid and that they are so confident in the water.

Caleb and Lexi (Samuel LOVES "yetsi" as he calls her)

The boys with Mackenzie, who did a great job with them.

Sidenote: After sitting and watching the boys in the Bowman's beautiful pool for the last two weeks, and observing the thermostat hit 100+ all week, I have decided that I want a pool.  A place for us to host friends, and swim all day everyday in the summer.  So I am now officially saving for a pool – hoping to someday make this lifelong dream a reality.
