We've thought about swim lessons for the kids this summer, but price and a few other factors helped us decide well try next year. We still want to take the kids swimming throughout the summer, so when the weather was good today we took the opportunity to go to the Challis hot springs. Kendal was jumping for joy and over the moon to go swimming. The hot spring pool maintains an average temp of 102 degrees so the kids were loving the water. Peter was overwhelmed with the over sized life vest he got stuffed into. He did ok with it, but we took it off after not to long. Kendal was in a vest also. She didn't trust the vest to keep her up at first and took a while to warm up to swimming without mom and dad constantly holding her. After a while she finally warmed up and was doing very well. She was so proud of herself in the end, because she got the courage to swim on her own. The pool is four feet deep the whole length, and the bottom was covered in rocks (so the spring could continuously flow and renew the pool). We've never really had Kendal in a pool where she couldn't run or play on part of it. Thankfully there was a ledge near the stairs that was about a foot into the water that the kids enjoyed hanging out on. (Thank you so much Sarah and Terry for the certificate to the pool!)
June is a busy month. A few teaching job openings have popped up, and Casey has applied for them. So we may or may not be staying in Challis - we will see. Casey will start basketball practices next week, and has a couple of tournaments this month. We have the Darrington reunion in a few weeks! Also Peter and I celebrate our birthdays. A good start to what promises to be a fun and busy summer!
