Cooling off

During these hot days, we are either in the pool, at water pads, or eating ice cream. Gotta love summertime!

Matt has been working with Jonas for over a week now at the pool. Every morning, Matt takes Jonas to our condo pool in Lakewood and practices swimming. After just 2 lessons, Jonas has pulled away from the side to swim to Matt. Last weekend Silas and I were able to come watch the performance.
Jonas loves having goggles on to see underwater. Another way for kids to put their head under water.
First they practiced on the kickboard looking down with straight legs and small kicks.

Then Jonas pushing off from the side of pool and using his own power to swim to Matt. So proud of you Jonas!
Spectators at the pool were so impressed with Matt's ability to teach with laughter, fun, and patience. One lady told Matt,"I wish my daddy played with me in the pool like you." He really is an awesome dad!

Silas' turn to swim with dad. Holding onto Matt's shoulders while Silas kicks with legs straight.

Play time in the pool! Splashing each other! Silas thinks it's so funny to be splashed...good thing!

Off to Buffalo Bill days in Golden.
Cruising downtown Golden on Strider bikes. Jonas borrowed Asher's bike so Silas can start learning to ride one. He is doing so well! But of course, he is the boy that stops to smell the roses.

Frozen Yogurt stop! And they asked for chocolate and gummy worms on top!

Nearby there is a splash pad where the boys had a blast!



Good times!
