This is part 1 of a three-part Summer extravaganza! The summer began nice and hot as it is common in good ol' Texas. Joana and Julia were enjoying the pool, the school activities, and playground and all of their friends. The most important thing was that we were approaching the date when we would all go to Portugal to visit Vovô, vovó, Uncle Jorge and Aunt Ana and meet their first child, Clara (or Clarinha as Joana and Julia like to call her) for the first time. We would also have a chance to see cousins and uncles and aunts and friends....oh my!! AND Namaw and Mawmaw were joining us on this adventure.
But to make sure the girls would be ready for the sea and the beach fun we decided to enroll them in swimming classes! This was an incredible experience. Ms Carol (the swimmers' whisperer...lol) is able to teach little babies and children to swim in 2 WEEKS!!! I was a bit skeptical, at first, but here is what happened at the end of two weeks. Thank you
Ms. Carol (wwww.swimwithcarol.com) for such a great experience and we will be back next year to perfect the skills learned with you.
In Julia's class the parents get to swim with the children because they are younger than 2 years old. They play games, chase toys in the water and sing songs. Daddy got a chance to enjoy the experience on the last day of class after returning from a long trip. Here is what Julia was able to do after two weeks!
Joana's class was different, the children were on their own with Ms. Carol as the parents watched from a few feet away. Ms. Carol had little games
and competitions for them everyday and they all did so well! Check out the last day of class.
At then end, they all received a little diploma and below is a picture of both girls with Ms. Carol!
