D.G. lately

Today was Graham's last "summer" session of swim lessons.  This is his second week and WOW what a difference a great coach makes!  Graham's coach, Edwi, has been awesome with him.  Graham has learned the backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, froggy kicks, and some side breathing. He is also swimming the length of the pool!  It's been HOT on the sidelines with the sweet sisters but so worth it to see our fella gaining confidence and working hard/having fun in the water. He doesn't want to stop so we decided to keep up with the next session.  Hannah Reece is ready to swim, too.

Ready for a celebratory-last-lesson-game of Marco Polo!  They let the beginners wear life jackets in case they get fatigued while treading water  during the game.

Graham loves to play the game "Angry Birds" on Dan's tablet.  The last time we were in the Apple store, he played "Angry Birds Space" and since that time, he's been asking Dan if he could download it.  It costs $2.99, so he agreed to pull the weeds/grass that are encroaching on the flower beds around the pool cage.  He was out there for an hour and did an awesome job, not a single complaint!  Here he is, working hard for that new app.  ;)  And he spent his entire "techno" hour on Angry Birds Space today.  The joys of summer!  For a few more days....
