swimming lessons

It is nice when you allow your kids take swimming lessons. I can swim but look like a frog only because i did it when i was a kid, going to a small river and swimming...no teacher at that time.

I love how you have activities planned out for your kids, and want them to be involved. It's a great thing! I wished my parents got me more involved when I was a kid; it's something that will stay with you throughout life. I think these activities are more than enough for your kids; what you can do maybe is plan out some trips I guess? Take them to new places, visit landmarks, museums. As them what else they want to do, and see what you can make of it!

I remember when I was little we learned how to swim by family.. Now it seems that people take their kids to the Y to learn how to swim. To each their own.. I think when I have kids I will teach them the way I was taught. It's much more fun. We should all be grateful and happy for what we have, and when we have money to splurge, we should be happy we have that too... It's so hard figuring out what activities to involve kids in that will help the grow, give them fun time etc.. I have a niece and nephew and they do a martial art, when I was a kid I didn't even go to summer camp! I did have fun though.

I think you are wise to be grateful and focus on the positive things because you are teaching your children something important through your example. I also think it's a mistake to try too hard to entertain children. Allow them to find constructive ways to spend their time. You can communicate with them and if you have at least 1 child who enjoys reading you might be able to take them to borrow books at a local library. Teach them to be independent enough to choose how they spend some of their time.

I think everybody should learn how to swim. I geuss a few activities for the summer that would help your kids be a well rounded individual would benefit them.

It's great that your kids took swimming lessons that will help them. I think that you should look at your kids and see what they like and base on that maybe give them something else to learn or do.
