Summer of 2009 at the pool


The kids have spent so much time at the pool this summer. They have loved it! It has been so fun to see how each of them have improved. The kids have been excited to show off their new tricks for Josh, so on Saturday we all went to the pool and I was able to take some pictures. Unfortunately my shutter speed is not fast enough, so the action shots did not turn out that great. But, the kids can't say I didn't try to capture their new skills.

Here is Brigham showing off his dive off the diving board. Brigham has really improved this summer. He went from only swimming around with floaties, to jumping off the the diving board, diving-belly flopping off the diving board, swimming independently for about five feet and turning flips in the water. He is fun to watch.


After Brig's dive.



Sorry, Bodell you were too fast. Bodell was already a good swimmer at the beginning of the year, but she has become a great diver. She has a beautiful dive off the diving board.




Shae refused to open her eyes because of the sun. Shae has also REALLY improved this year. She also started the year swimming with floaties and now she is an independent swimmer. She goes off the diving board by herself, dives off the side and swims wherever she wants. She has loved the new freedom, and loves swimming with Bodell and her older friends.



Aahh! The lazy days of summer!




Sorry Shae, you were too fast also. This was Shae jumping off the diving board (I tried!)

We are going to either have to get your a "quicker" camera or I'll have to point and shoot much sooner to catch the girls in an "action shot", thanks for the fun pictures, looks like everyone has had a fun summer, hard to believe almost back to school. Shae will be gone to school all day, what will Brigham do?
