Project Life 2012 - week 26

June 24-30

Swimming Camp Week! This is the camp that Bennett puts at the top of his list each Spring as we talk about Summer plans and we were so happy when Mrs. Gina decided on a date that worked for us!

 Each day Bennett went for 3 hours (plus a little for free swim) and he had a blast! This was his 3rd year to do this camp, so he really got a lot stronger on each of his strokes - and he learned to do flip turns, back stroke starts, and he started to learn the swan dive (that one's going to take a little more practice :)

On Friday, the kids did an Expo for the parents to showcase all that they learned during the week.

 They also got to showcase their own jumps. This one is the 'Mr. Miagi'

 'Mr. Miagi' part 2

 This one is the 'Dive and Catch'. Wow!

 Then the boys lined up and all did karate moves.

 And, just to note - Bennett thought it was super cool to wear his hat when swimming... and to fill it with water :)

Bennett is a really great swimmer, which makes me so happy! I was always able to get around in the pool, but never was very proficient. So, I guess he's taking after his daddy in the swimming department :)

Just to note - this week he also took an art class at church on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and he LOVED it. I don't have any pictures of his masterpieces, but the first day was Auburn or Alabama, so you can guess which he chose :)  The next day he painted a cross. He's a great little artist!

Another note - I'm posting this one on time! Whoa! :)
