Swimming

Well...another busy week...and this post is way overdue! We lucked-out when it comes to neighbors! The neighbors on all sides are wonderful, but our back neighbors are the best. They are a couple with grown children (our age). A few years ago they put in a beautiful in-ground swimming pool. Within hours of our moving in they had introduced themselves and with-in a month they had us over for dinner. Dave and Leslie are such great people. Well, at the start of the "swimming season" (May 15th) they had us over to show us how to open up the pool on our own and then gave us open access! Anytime... We have taken advantage of their generous offer (not often enough according to the kids) and here are a few videos taken on my camera phone.

Carson is crazy and loves to swim. He looks like a little dog because I haven't worked on form with him at all. Erika is no longer afraid of deep water and jumps in the deep end and swims all over. This is a huge accomplishment for her. She took lessons 2x's a week for over a year in Japan as well as lessons in Idaho and was petrified--until now!
