Sharks and Sea Turtles, Oh My

Our boys took a break from swimming to learn some hockey skills, but now that summer is near (I hope), it was time to refresh those skills.  We put both kiddos in Sea Turtle and quickly found out Kasey was moved up to Shark!  This kid has learned a lot in the past year!  Actually, they both have!  We also had another fun surprise.  They opened up a free swim play area for the kids to entertain themselves before class got started.  They Love this area! In fact, this was where we had Kasey's 6th birthday party back in December.

What better way to celebrate their first day back at swimming that some DQ ice cream cones! Especially since it was on 'free cone day'!

These next three pics are from the last day of class.  We have been staring at this daring slide for months.  It twists and turns outside the building before coming back inside and looks rather daunting when you are six.  Could Not get my boys to attempt it.  A couple times, they would walk up the stairs; only to walk straight back down.  Not today, they celebrated graduating their swim classes (Karsten will move up to Shark and Kasey will not be an Orca) by conquering the big yellow slide!  ps: I think we stayed an extra 45 minutes just going down this thing... I thought we would never get to go home for dinner!
