Here are some pictures from a pool party birthday that we went to recently. The kids loved jumping off the diving board over and over. It was interesting to compare how far their swimming skills have come since the beginning of the summer.
Carter relaxing in the pool
At the beginning of the summer (fourth of July) when we were at Meme and Grandpap Bob's pool Ava was pretty scared to go off the diving board. It took her quite awhile to get up the courage to jump, even with floaties. She also had an adult waiting in the water for her. But on this day she jumped off the diving board with no fear, no floaties, no adults in the water. Way to go my awesome little swimmer!
In all honesty, Dawson could have made it off the diving board and swam to the ladder. But I wasn't going to be in the pool at this party and I just felt more comfortable with him wearing floaties. Here he is trying to imitate a front flip.
There were many older kids at this party and they were all doing front flips off the diving board. Carter practiced over and over again, until finally he got it!
Then I went to take a video of it, and he couldn't get his feet quite over his head. He is just so close! We'll have to go to Meme and Grandpap Bob's pool next summer so he can perfect his front flip skills (our neighborhood dosen't have a diving board.)
