Last week, Owen and Avari took swim lessons at Heritage Hills High School, with Angie Spinner and some of the HHHS swimmers. Owen took them there last year, so he was excited about going again, and did really good at them. This was Avari's first year, and she was also really excited about going. I didn't know how she would do, once she actually got there, but I didn't have any trouble getting her into the pool! They both seemed to learn some of the basics of swimming. On Thursday (the last day), they could jump off the diving board at the end of class if they wanted too. Owen and Avari both decided to try it....ok, so they were bribed with ice cream if they at least tried. ; - ) Avari went first, but changed her mind once she got close to the end of the diving board. She went over with the other 3 year olds, and jumped off the side. Owen dropped off the board twice! Of course, once Avari saw Owen jump off, she decided to do it. I guess she thought it couldn't be that bad, since Owen did it. Angie took her to the end of the board again, and she "jumped" in. They both said it was a lot of fun!
