Slide Dive

At diving today, one of the instructors was trying to teach this 7 year old boy how to do a dive. He didn't want to do it. No problem. The instructor folded up a gym mat and placed it at the end of the diving board. She had Preston (the 7 year old) lay on it like he was doing a dive. Then she lifted up the edge of the mat and he slid right in. When Preston popped his head up he was cheering so hard that he did it. It was so funny.

Fast-forward to free dive time for Stockton. The instructor sprayed the mat with the hose, so Stockton and Aiden would run and slide across the mat until they did a dive in the pool. Stockton even got to where he could do a flip off the edge. So funny to watch. I really should learn the other instructors name.

Jorja got roller skates at DI in Idaho. She loves them. She wore them the entire time she was a grandma's house. She didn't have school today so she wore them the entire time she was home today. Roller skates are loud. Too bad the basement was such a mess, that would have been fun for her. I think Mike got it mostly cleaned up while I was at diving, but she doesn't have tomorrow off. I had to finally tell her she needed to close the door....after all, Maysen and Stockton were trying to do their homeschool.
