Cannon Balls


Justin had a fun two weeks of swimming lessons with his friend Ethan Beckstrand at the neighborhood outdoor private pool. They both took the class together last summer and neither one would put their head under the water on their own. This year was a different story. Justin was "Mr. Dunking Boy" jumping around in the water, blowing bubbles, kicking and having a fabulous time!





Tyler was a such a good sport to watch each day and cheer on his big brother! Travis came to watch several times since Justin's class was right during Travis' lunch break. Justin was so excited to have an audience and to wear his new Lightening McQueen swimming suit!

On the last day of class, Justin told me his plan on our way to the pool: "I don't want to just walk down the steps into the pool, Mom, I want to do a cannon ball...what's a cannon ball?" I told him and when he ready to get into the pool, he told his teacher and she let him try. We'll have to have good old dad show him how its done next time we all go swimming!



Justin passed the swimming level with flying colors and here is what his teacher had to say about him: "Justin is a joy to have in class! He likes to learn new things. Keep kicking with straight legs and blow bubbles!"
