August Adventures

Our month of August was filled with swimming lessons, soccer camp, and playing near the sound before the school year begun. The boys both took swimming lessons at Lakes High School and we were so glad that it was indoors because there were many days of light sprinkling and overcast, cool mornings. They had such a good experience and were both swimming on their own and jumping off the diving board by the end of the summer.

A n d r e w - finally mastered his fear of the water!



P e t e r - realized that he could swim 10 feet and is quite the little fish.

During our last session of swimming lessons the boys were involved in their yearly British Soccer Camp held at our Elementary School. Thank goodness it was close to home. They both learned some good skills and had a blast. Since Peter is still five he was put in the smaller soccer group with the four and five year olds. They don't break into teams and play real games but work on ball skills and such. After one of his hour and a half sessions his coach noticed that he was waiting with me as we were watching Andrew play. He asked Peter if he wanted to play with one of the younger teams. Pete felt so special and loved all the attention he recieved from a couple of the coaches. They were so nice to explain rules of the game that he had not understood yet. They gave him high fives and really spent some time helping him learn and have fun. We will definitely be doing this camp again next year. The British guys are really good with the kids!
