Swimming Lessons Day 2

Today was day two of swimming lessons.  The kids were all tired and wore out.  They didn't want to roll our of bed this morning...mostly because we didn't get home until 10:30 last night.  Spencer had a ballgame that was supposed to start at 8 pm and it didn't get started until 9.  This was the first game they had lost, but it was good for them to know that they could loose.  They made a few bad plays and it cost them some runs.  It is good for the kids at this age to know that you win some and loose some.  They have to learn they can't win all the time.

I can already see an improvement in the kids this year in only 2 days.  Spencer swam from one side of the pool to the other today.  This is the farthest I have ever seen him swim.  Morgan decided she was going to jump off the diving board today....YAY

After swimming lessons we went over to a friends house and fellow blogger.  The kids had a BLAST swimming.  We laid out by the pool and relaxed while the kids played and when we would start "cooking" we would get in the water to cool down.  Jessica said I should put some baby oil on to help me tan....so I did.  Needless to say I am a "CRISP" lobster :)  I'm sure it will all go in and be tan by morning, but I right now I am RED!

After swimming most of the day we came home and ALL took a nap.  It felt nice to lay down and take a nap.  I knew the kids were exhausted and so was I.  After napping it was time to head back to the ballpark.  Spencer had another game tonight and his team pictures.  They won their game tonight and played really good ball.   Only two more games and ball will be over for the year.  :(

Our bedtime routine at house tonight consisted of swimmer's ear drops, neosporin and aloe....yep its definately SUMMER TIME!  Spencer scrapped his knee at the ballgame tonight.  Every year Morgan gets swimmer's ear during the summer from all the water/swimming...we had some drops left from last year and she started complaining so I went ahead and put some drops in her ears.  The aloe we all got....the kids faces got a little red today & I used LOTS of sunscreen...maybe we were just outside a little too long.
