Summer's Accomplishments

The mouth never closes - even underwater!

Do you think he's having fun?

If you care to dredge back through this blog to last November when we picked up the boys in Manila, you will find an entry on Mike having to fish Eli out of the hotel swimming pool because Eli was positive he could swim and Mike had yet to kick into the parent of "monkey see, monkey do" boys.

This summer we were determined to make sure the boys no longer sank to the bottom of pools and lakes and took them for swimming lessons. Lucas - what can I say - is a fish, Eli - is an anchor. They both started out a little skittish. Lucas got over that in the first lesson and jumped from beginner to Level III in a day. Eli did move up to Level II but still not a fan of the face in the water. Probably has something to do with swallowing water because he has a small problem, his lips never meet for longer than 2 seconds. The kid loves to talk.

Now it's August, as you can see from the photos they conquered the pool and now don't understand why the pool is closing for the season. Once again boys, Welcome to Iowa.
