Future Olympians can't just practice swimming, they have to get themselves in the superhero mind-frame. The thing I love about having my kids with me at home on beautiful summer days is that they can run out into the back yard and do just that. Mornings in our backyard are perfect. The afternoons are horribly hot, but this is about superheroes-in-training. Behold.
Okay, state of mind is down, next is swim lessons. Josh was very pumped to be in level 2, while Andrew was pumped to not be left out this year. As I mentioned, Kayla visited us mid-swim lessons, so we got to do some extra swimming with her.

| Josh with his class. His teacher told the kids they were supposed to bring muffins for him, and they believed it. I almost really brought him muffins because he was so good with the kids, but ran out of time. |
 |
| Andrew and Noah were in the same preschool-swimming class. |
 |
| This babe likes Aunt Kayla. |
 |
| The boys loved to look for fish in the lake after lessons. |
The next thing you should do to prepare for the Olympics is to find a comfortable position from which to study the Olympics.
 |
| Josh, in the perfect position to study the Olympics. |
 |
| Check out that concentration. |
Graduating from Level 2 and preschool-swim is a big step along the path to success.
 |
| Freshly graduated and rewarded with popsicles. |
Of course, practice makes perfect. On the last day we all went back later that night with Gary. My heart feels content just thinking about being with my family at the pool on that perfect evening. Sigh. Love it.

| Could this picture sell Target swimsuits? |
 |
| He smiles like a champion, anyway. |
 |
| Noah properly fetched the diving ring |
 |
| Josh was very proud of this "dive." |
 |
| It's suddenly-no-fear Noah! |
 |
| Andrew always wants Gary to tie his towel like Dad's. |
 |
| Can't go home until you use your towel as a cape while running down the hills a few times. |
Winning formula?
