I went with Keith and Eli on the first day and took some video. It was great to watch both of them splash and laugh with each other. So the video we have is of his first day and about the last 15 minutes of his class. What they had the kids do was take a toy and throw it out in the water and then go get it. This was to help them get used to moving in the water. Well you will have to watch the video do see what happened next.
Needless to say that was the first and only time since that he has gone under water and come up happy. He doesn't like to go under water very much no mater what we or his teacher try and get him to do. Oh well, he still had a lot of fun and learned how to kick and move his arms at the same time and that is what we really wanted out of it. On his last day they did some swimming and then they turned on the slides and all the water works for the last 15 minutes. So I got some great pictures of Eli and Keith going down the big yellow slide and one picture of the great big smile on his face from having so much fun!

That looks like such a great swimming pool! I am glad he got to start learning to swim, that way he'll be all set when you guys come and visit us in Hawaii! Hint hint
That tears it. I need to get on the stick and have Merritt take lessons. It looks like tons of fun and that video was neat. (I especially liked to hear you giggling in the background. It made me laugh.)
Oh how fun! I have been taking Lindsey to swim lessons this year too. She really doesn't like to go under water either. It is still really fun for her to go though!
Eli, it is great that Grandma and Gandpa can see you do all these great things all the way over in France. We love you all.
