This week Camden started his first of two weeks of swimming lessons. He does pretty good in the water, however we really wanted him to gain a better confidence with his swimming. We registered him at the YMCA, where he had swimming lessons with one teacher and two other boys. He did really well and by the end of the week he had learned to swim unassisted for about 10 to 15 feet and then he was able to jump in the water and swim back to the side unassisted.

At the end of the week, his teacher gave him stickers
for his chart showing what he accomplished |
On Monday I had taken Camden to the local library where they are doing science experiments every Monday to teach the kiddos different aspects of Science. This Monday it was making ice cream, YUM! Despite us arriving almost 30 minutes early for this experiment, they only allowed in 100 kids and we were number 105 in line. Luckily they gave us the information regarding the lesson they were going to teach along with the recipe they were using. So on Tuesday I went to the grocery store and bought the needed ingredients so the boys could make their own ice cream. They thought it was great fun and loved eating the results!

On Thursday, Clint,the 'Snake Man', was at another local library, so I took the boys to see all the different snakes he had. Both Camden and Casen were to scared to touch the snakes, although Camden liked to look at them (unlike Casen he only wanted to look at the turtle because the snakes were 'too scary').

And of course Camden has been wanting to test out his new swimming skills, so Friday we took them to the neighborhood pool where they had great fun swimming.
