so we finally made it back to the swim hall. last time we had been swimming was with the jameson jungle in utah! when eijla was too young, so this is eijla's first official swim hall experience. here they are before all the splish and splash.
they sell kiddy swim glasses at the pool hall, and since we are trying to convince zoe that water in your face is no big deal, i let her pick a pair. pink, uh, what a surprise (no they did not have purple). anyway, she loved them though, i think they are just a little too wide between the eyes for her at the moment.
zoe loved that eijla got a kick out of being splashed with water. she really is a water baby. loved every minute. even when i dunked under a few times. sadly thomas had to work, so i could not get a pic of her underwater, maybe another time.
zoe was actually swimming on her own and doing well. we were working on keeping her legs behind her instead of under her. she is definitely making progress.
and the swim goggles seemed to help, she even put her head under the water all by herself. sadly i missed on the shot as i was holding eijla in one hand and couldn't really see where i had the camera. i couldn't convince her to do it again, but there is always next time. but i am so proud of her for going under her self and not crying when she came up? how did we end up with a kid that hates having water in her face?
zoe took some shots of eijla and i, she did great, but i am not so sure what eijla's expression says in this shot.
it felt great to finally get back into swimming. and i am so happy that eijla loves the water so much. now we just have to get in the habit. and hopefully pappa can follow with sometimes. we missed you pappa!

Cute pictures. My girls both did not like putting their faces in the water like Zoe. Hayle got over it with some good teachers forcing her to do it. Paige is working on it. She tried the goggles but decided she doesn't like those... not sure on her yet but she loves the water. We miss you guys!!
Riktiga små vattentöser, men det är ju inte så konstigt med två såna energiska vattenföräldrar! säger Farmor o Farfar
