Anna and Todd started swim lessons this week at a friend's pool.
So far, Anna has been much more gung ho about it than Todd. He doesn't like getting into the chilly water . . .
. . . or being splashed (which tends to happen in pools).
Joy and Daniel aren't technically part of the lesson, but our teacher Alexander said they were welcome to play in the pool while he taught Anna the finer points of flutter kicks and such.
Todd eventually did get into the pool today, but the closest he got to swimming was walking back and forth across the shallow end while Alexander taught Joy an efficient splashing technique. I guess walking in the pool is a start.
Meanwhile, I spent part of the lesson admiring Alexander's parents' garden. This raised hoop house is a smart way to keep the critters away from their greens.
And speaking of being smart, Joy did great on her Precalculus test, so the high school gave her the green light to take Calculus her freshman year! She's really excited, and I'm proud of her for putting in so much work to achieve her goal!
