swimming lessons

Over the summer Kinley took her first session of swimming lessons. We decided with both sets of grandparents having pools and with the lake house it would probably be a good idea. We started late into the 12 week session and had to miss 2 more lessons...but, it was so worth it! For each session we went, Kinley gained another second of breath control under the water and now can hold her breath 6 seconds. We took Waterbabies lessons at Emler in Southlake and we really loved it. The teachers are so patient and sweet. We made some other friends in the class and it was just fun to go every wednesday morning and swim together. She "graduated" from her class last week and got a cool t-shirt and a ribbon and now she just loves to swim all the time! I am SO going to miss the lessons and really want to take them this fall/winter session too. I just haven't decided 100% yet. She still has so much to learn! Here are a few pics and a quick video of her swimming at Honey & Boss's.
