Easton loses his first tooth

Easton lost his first tooth on July 6th.

Dyer ran through the floss like a finish line before Easton had a chance to shut the gate himself.

4th of July

We went to our wards 4th of July breakfast in the morning.

We had a BBQ with Valerie in the afternoon.

Dyer originally was in Blair's class but I think he was afraid of the platform and because of that he refused to do anything the first day. I asked if he could be brought back down to the sea turtles since they are on the stairs. Sure enough the next day he was right in the water doing everything his teacher asked him to do.

Dyer passed too! I was pretty sure that he would but it would have been kind of embarrassing if he passed last year but not this year!

Day 2:

Dyer's new class.

Practicing kicks

Day 3:

He of course had to use the bathroom since he refused to go beforehand.

Day 8:

Last day of swim

Dyer went down the slide again this year but luckily he stayed up the whole way down unlike last year.

None of the kids wanted to continue with swimming which actually kind of surprised me. They all seemed like they really enjoyed it and looked forward to it everyday. They all decided they wanted to do gymnastics instead so that is what we are currently doing.

Blair swim and gymnastics

Blair also did really well this year. I think it helped that she had a girl teacher this year. Blair finally passed!

Day 2:

Swimming with kickboard

Day 3:

Front starfish:

Blair dunking her head under. She wouldn't let her teacher dunk her for the first two days. I guess she has to be the one in charge.

Sorry it's a little shaky. Blakely's on my back and moving around crazy.

Her teacher finally dunked her!

Day 8:

Last day of swim. Blair and Dyer's class got to play in the splash zone. Easton was a little sad that his class didn't get to. My battery died so I took this with my phone.

Easton swim

I can't remember but I either forgot my camera the first day or the battery was dead and then I hardly go any pictures/videos the second day before the battery died.

Easton did really well! I was really impressed that he was swimming a lot by himself and he wanted to swim all by himself. Unfortunately he didn't pass and I'm still not 100% sure why. His teacher said he had everything down but because there is such a jump between this class and the next class with how far they have to swim on their own he thought it would be best for Easton to stay in this class and improve his skills before moving up. Oh well, he passed in my opinion.

All the kids had swim at the same time and they were all in different classes so it was a little difficult to get pictures/videos of everything.

Day 3:

Swimming by himself with the kick board
