Last Swim, Sept 25

This was our last big swim in the pool with everyone in the warm weather.  I think we actually made it over one more time, the first of October, with just our little family to swim since it was warm for so long this year.
Matisyn continues to swim like a fish.  People who aren't used to her skills are shocked at how well she swims, and are always nervous when we just let her jump in and swim on her own.  She is learning to dive now as well.
Emilyn is turning into a fish just like her big sister.   She loves to swim too, and has no fear, just like Matisyn at this age.  I'm excited to try swim lessons next spring and see what she can do.  On this occasion she was loving going off the board.  She liked being dropped by Daddy and caught in the water by Aunt Megan.  We started letting her go pretty far under water thinking she would be ready to stop.  She just kept saying "peas" and using the sign language signal for please to go again and again.

These are some pictures Matt took without looking on the way over.

Grandma Barb and Aunt Megan were playing a game of crazy raft with the kids.  They were shaking the raft and waving it up and down and the kids were trying to hang on.  They were loving it.

Here are some shots of Emilyn's diving board experience:
