Swimming Up North on Vacation

Just got back from the annual Erlenbusch vacation up north in Brainerd, MN.  As usual we had a great time!  I have a few pics and a few videos to share.  Thought I'd start with this one.  Mom got the giggles at this one as it looks like I am just running out of cement to run on as I run into the pool.  Also, I like to show off my swimming skillz.  Dig it.

He's so bright, his father calls him son,

Swimming Lessons - Session Little 3!

Henry just started his second session of swimming lessons last week!  He's doing so well and we're so proud!  I thought I'd share a couple of videos to get you up to date on his progress!  He even graduated from a "Little 2" to a "Little 3"!  His dad had tears in his eyes he was so proud!

I Need a Pool, STAT!

Swimming Lessons Day 3

Yesterday was my third swimming lesson, and things are really starting to come around.  I got right in the pool with no problems, and I'm really starting to have fun.  I am good at moving my arms, and I'm good at kicking, but I can't seem to do both at the same time.  I'm workin' on it though.  Mom said she had the same trouble, I guess its hereditary.  Enjoy!

The real McCoy,

Swimming Lesson Day 2

Things went better at swimming lessons today.  I really like it, and Mom said she's so proud of me!  I thought I'd share a few videos of me showing off my skills...

Try as hard as you can,

First Day Of Swimming Lessons...a Little Touch and Go

This was me at the beginning of the lesson.  Mom was slightly freaking (inside).  Visions of last year's gymnastic lessons dancing in her head.

This is my teacher and the other kids in my class.  In the water, learning, and having fun.   

Then something happened.  A really good teacher grabbed me and took me in the water and made me feel comfortable....and that's me up there...on my back... SWIMMING!!!  Next week Mom said she'd bring the video camera and get some real action shots!  I just love swimming!

Independent as a hog on ice,
