St Lucia

Mom and dad took a much needed adults only trip to St. Lucia.  We went with some good friends of ours.  It is such a beautiful place as you can see in the pictures!

The view of our resort from Fort Rodney.

We got to try some tropical fruits with the locals.

We went zip lining in the rainforest.

Here we are at the volcanic, sulfur, mud bath.  Our skin is still soft nearly a week later!

Swimming Lessons

Now that the twins are 3, they can take swimming lessons without parents being in the pool!  They seem to really enjoy their teacher, Eric.

They have been to the pool a lot, so they have pretty much mastered the skills (head under water, blowing bubbles, kicks, etc) in the class already.  But, it is good for them to have some structured classes, since Buddy gets to do so many activities (basketball, soccer, baseball, etc).

They were having trouble listening last week, so we had to talk about how to behave.  Let's hope this week is better.  They cried when I told them they wouldn't be going to swimming lessons anymore, if they couldn't listen!  They just feed off of each other when misbehaving.  It was funny to watch Eric try to keep them in line.  One would start wandering away in the pool and while he was telling them to get back on the wall, the other one would start misbehaving.  This is exactly why they will NOT be in the same class in school!
