One of the perks of having a sister who works at a hotel.....discount hotel rates!! Thanks to Katelyn, our trip to Utah didn't involve driving to from Idaho and then back in a single day. She got us a couple rooms at the hampton inn where she works in Provo. Therefore, we got to all go swimming together after Lagoon! Just incase those kids weren't worn out enough....
Caleb kinda had a breakthrough in the pool that day. Caleb has always been pretty afraid of the pool if he can't touch. He'll jump 5 feet off the countertop to your arms....but won't jump one foot off the edge of the pool into your arms. He's TERRIFIED!!
Emily worked with him in the pool. She got him to kick his legs, and hold him out at arm's length (he always wants his arms tight around your neck). And he even jumped off the edge of the pool a couple of times!! And right at the end, I got him to hold his breath while we went under water. He didn't like it....but he didn't cry either. A complete BREAKTHROUGH!
I'm completely convinced the boy needs swimming lessons....from now, and every summer until he can do backflips off the diving board.
