So, this winter we signed the kids up for swim lessons so they could swim every week during the cold months. In previous posts, I have complained about Lillie's need to imitate everything Parker does, but in this case it was a huge advantage. Withing 20 minutes of the first class, Lillie had jumped into the 13 foot pool unassisted, treaded water for a minute and swam to the ladder on her own. There was no way she was going to let her big brother show her up. I have to admit, as a dancer, Lillie could use some work...as a swimmer and an athlete, the girl has got some skills. Anyway, the 8 week class was over on Friday and both kiddos got their certificates of completion! We celebrated with blue icecream from UDF!

Yay, Parker and Lillie! Even though I knew you literally blew the other kiddos out of the water with your awesome and amazing aquatic/athletic skills, getting certificates are always fun and exciting! You all definitely make goggles cool and fashionable! Maybe you can teach Jovey a few skills now! ha! She always said when she got to be a big girl like Lillie, she could swim better! ;-)
Love you active Willis folk!
Brynn loves the water too and is always talking about going to the beach. Poor thing, was born into a family of 'not the smallest' parents that don't enjoy water and public places! :-) ...She said she wants a pink pool for her birthday...We'll see what we can do.
