Rexburg Rapids

 Friday after swimming lessons, our friends, the McKnights, invited us to go to Rexburg Rapids with them.  They also have three girls and my girls love to play with them.  They used to go to the daycare and Savannah was in Rylee's kindergarten class and will be in her first grade class.  We hadn't seen them all summer, so the girls were beyond excited!!!

 Savannah, Rylee, and Olivia

 Rylee jumping in!


 Ashlyn splashing around!




 A lifeguard said Rylee couldn't use her life jacket like this, but it was fun for a little while!


 Kaylie enjoyed walking in the shallow part.




 Ashlyn and Sophie had a great time together- 
Sophie is 3 so Ashlyn liked not being the littlest!  
It was so cute to watch her be the "big girl!"












Kaylie walked a lot without falling!

Swimming Lessons

 First day of swimming lessons.
July 15, 2013

 Anna and Kaylie, the little redheads.

 Ashlyn loved being with her cousins, Mercedes and Jerika.

 Ashlyn absolutely LOVES swimming- she always had a smile on her face!
She is also very good at going under the water without plugging her nose- it's no big deal!
Rylee still plugs her nose a little bit.



 Rylee also loves swimming-  I can't believe how good she has gotten! 
It was so fun to watch her really swim on her own!


 She also loved being in the same class as her cousin, Isaiah.
(There were a total of seven Blatter cousins taking lessons at the same time- so fun for the kids and the parents!)





 Kaylie wanted to swim too!

 This was her birthday- she will have a lot of birthdays at swimming lessons!

 Ashlyn jumping in.


 I love Rylee's bun poking out!



 Cute cousins!




 Kaylie and Cosette.

 Ashlyn jumping in again.

 Rylee jumping in.

 Last day- all of the little kids playing a game together.


 So usually she hesitates a little and I can get a couple of pictures before she goes down, but not this time.  This is her splashing in the water after jumping off.  I was so sad I missed it, so Stephan asked if she could do it again and they let her.  She was ok with it too!

 So this is her second time jumping off!
This was the first time she did it without a life jacket.

 Ashlyn was a little hesitant, but finally jumped by herself!

 She was so happy that she did it!

We love swimming lessons!
