Going Swimming

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the kids made great strides in learning how to swim during this trip. Both learned how to tread water on their own while wearing their arm floaties. Alexander loved jumping off the side of the pool, which was kind of scary for me. I was so worried he wouldn't jump out far enough or somehow would throw his head back and hit the concrete side.

In these photos, you'll see my dad, Aunt Maureen, Rachel and maybe Megan. I think the kids went swimming four nights on our initial stay in Chesterton. Somehow, I got away without having to put on a swimsuit any of those nights!
