Sailor is a swimmer! Beginning in June she really improved in her swimming abilities. Chase has been so patient and great with her each time he takes her out. The trick were the goggles. Once we got her to wear those she felt much more comfortable because, well, now she can see where she is swimming to. Here's one of the first days in June that she really got the hang of it:
As for Seryn, she is determined to do what her older sister is doing. Over the last couple months Seryn doesn't like to keep her floaties on a whole lot. She likes to be free of any floatation device so she can dunk her head under water and hold her breath. She comes up out of the water, excited to see the approval from anyone who's around. This is enjoyable but a little scary. Sometimes I won't hear her for a second so I'll turn around and see her completely submerged under water, soon after she pops right up with a huge grin on her face. The other day Sailor, Seryn, and a friend would go underwater the same time and wave to each other. Seryn wont wear the goggles yet, but she will open her eyes and enjoys it just fine.
Nowadays we are out swimming just about every day and some days twice a day. We are just starting to feel the sadness creeping in as we are nearing the end of our time here.........never again will we have a pool such as this one.
We have made so many memories here!
