Swimming Lesson

Daniel, Emily and Kota are taking swim lessons this summer and they love it!!

Kota is in Sea Sprite class, Emily and Daniel are in Sea Star class.

They are building more confidence in their swimming skills through these classes.

Kota and Daniel got their hair cut last night. They chose to get their head shaved because they think they will swim faster.

この夏、子供たちは水泳教室に通っています。アリゾナは今とても暑く、公園の遊具は太陽の強い陽射しのせいで焼けてとても熱く遊ぶことができません。（遊具に直接肌で触れると焼けどするぐらいです）　
この時期にできることと言えば、我が家はやっぱりスイミングです。水泳教室は月～木で1回30分のクラスです。我が家の子供たちは力のあるかぎりいつまででもプールで泳いだり、遊んだりし続けます。おかげで私も子供たちに負けず、もうすでに真っ黒に日焼けしてます。私が夫のブライアンの横にいると、私たちが白と黒のオセロのコマのように思えてきます。

こうたとダニエルは昨日ダディーに髪を刈ってもらい、お坊さんスタイルで本人たちは大満足！（えみり同様髪が短いと早く泳げると思っているらしい・・・）

これからも子供たちの成長と水泳のスキルアップを楽しみにしながらアリゾナの夏を満喫するぞー！！　　　　　　　　　

Emily's Hair cut

This picture from our camping trip in end of May but the topic is Emily's hair.

I want you to look Emily's hair.

Her hair was nice and long but since I got my hair cut about 2 or 3 month ago, Emily wanted to cut her hair also.

I thought I was going to take her to a barber or something but I changed my mind and I cut her hair.

The good thing is, she still doesn't care if mommy cuts her hair, and she was so happy to see her new hair style.

Oh, one more funny thing is she loves swimming and when she grows up she wants to be a mermaid. Now she thinks that she can swim faster than before because her hair is short!
