Swim

 It's that time of year again - swim lessons!  Ella was in intermediate 3 this year and keeps getting closer to being able to be in the deep without me worrying too much.  She is great at treading water and floating and is learning the strokes.  She loves riding on the noodle and jumping off the diving board.

 The boys barely missed the age cut off this year so they hung out with me at the splash pad again.  They are really getting brave!  The both love going through what they call the "car wash" and they think it's so funny to try and stomp on the shooting water.

 Cade, like Ella, is becoming quite the picture taker.  Whenever I get out the camera, he wants to carry it around.  I have found dozens of his photos when I go to download.  Most of them are of things around the house.  When I was snapping photos on the last day of class, he asked for the camera.  When I handed it to him, he held it up to Cole and I and said, "say cheese!"  The picture below was the end result.  As soon as he said it, Cole reached up to give me a kiss.  Perfect moment!  And who would have ever thought that a two year old was behind the lens!

 Way to go Ella!  On to Advanced!
