Tulsa July 25-26

We went to Tulsa the end of July to visit Jason's parents. We spent almost the whole weekend in the pool, which was great. The kids had a ball. Sarah is a maniac in the water. She told me in April she was going to learn to swim this summer. When we got in the pool the first time, she kept telling me to let her go, and she would just start to swim. The problem is that she can't come up and take a breath and go back to swimming very well. Finally I got smart and put water wings on her, and she loves it! She can just do her own thing, and when she gets tired, she just floats on her back. It took her once to figure out how to make herself go where she wants to go, but now she's a pro. She has no fear and now is swimming with her face in the water bringing it up only to breathe.

Zachary has been swimming for 2 years, and this year, he forgot how. Last summer, he was jumping off the diving board and everything, and he just was struggling. Finally it clicked, and he's back to "normal" ~ at least in that regard now. And Joshua has become an amazing swimmer!
