Homeschool Swimming Classes

We're going to have a lot of swimming photos over the next couple of days because I finally remembered to take my camera on Thursday to the girls' homeschool swimming classes and this weekend has consisted of three swimming parties for Josie and two for the rest of us. So, get ready to see some goggles!

Next term we're going to try something new with swimming - I'm planning to have the big girls swim with the team in Karori and perhaps private lessons for Ellie - so I wanted to get some pictures of them with their current group and the sweet friends they've made along the way.

Here's El all ready to begin - she's progressed quite a bit this term, and even more in Florida in July!

Ellie's lesson is first so she gets to play for a long time while waiting for her sisters - Becky and Ruth are two of he best buddies!
Jo is ready to go - didn't get a great shot of her in action but here she's all smiles:
This is the look I got from Ellie when I wouldn't do what she wanted right away, I see this a lot actually:

Morgan and Kennedy take diving with Meggie and Katie. They are 11 and 13-years-old and are so sweet to the girls. The pool we go to is quite cold and the diving pool is absolutely freezing so Morgan and Kennedy are often seen trying to warm up Meggie and Katie.
The day is full of lessons and lots of play time with friends.







We're going to miss having our day with other homeschoolers and may return after a term or two if we can get our spots back, but for the next little while we're going to stick closer to home. I'm doing my best to streamline our schedule and allow more time for having friends over, taking trips and just being together as a family. It's always hard trying to decide which activities to drop or change because the girls and I all would love to do everything!!
