Outdoor Fun

A new outdoor swim facility is opening up for the summer.  They offered some swimming lessons so I signed the girls up for 6 lessons.  We do twice a week for 3 weeks.  The girls have LOVED going.  Emily is learning a more proper form of swimming instead of just doggie paddle:

  

 

Abigail is just learning how to get used to the water.  They practice swimming and floating on their backs:

 

 

They are also practicing jumping off the side of the pool.  Abigail leans over as far as she can to try to hold the teacher's hand before she jumps in:

 

She even went under water for the first time!

We also bought some new sidewalk chalk so the girls have enjoyed coloring on our driveway:

 

We met our friends Maddox and Tessa at the park one afternoon after school.  There was a big playground around them and they enjoyed playing in the sewer drain instead : )

 We went for dinner after the park:

 For the little bit that we have spent indoors, Emily enjoyed playing school one afternoon with her dolls.  Here they are lined up in front of the chalk board:

 She even gave them a place to hang their coats:
