This first video was taken at the very beginning of Brock's lesson - you can see he had mastered arms stretched out as he kicked to propel himself to the other side.
And then, just a short 30 minutes later, Brock's teacher added the arm strokes that go with it! Scooping apples to put them in your pocket is how he refers to it. I think Brock did really well putting it all together (for the first time)!
It definitely shows when we go out on the lake!
Of course, we have to start with our very nutritional Bojangles breakfast.
This time we decided to take Diesel and Oscar with us! We all enjoyed their company this trip! We ALL took a swim out to shore (sorry, no pictures - we forgot our GoPro). First, I headed out there with Kade and Brock on a float - roughly 80 feet from the boat. I stayed on land to call the dogs so they knew which way to start swimming and Brent lifted them up to put them in the water. Oscar is a great swimmer and made his way to me pretty quickly. We were a little worried about Diesel, so Brent ended up snapping his adult lifejacket around Diesel to help his buoyancy. He was wide-eyed when he started doggie-paddling and apparently overdid himself with his hind legs when he reached land. His back legs were spent and could barely hold himself up. We were a little worried that he did something really bad, but after an hour, he was good as new. Yup, our almost 10 year old, 93 pound husky is just a little out of shape.
More snacks and drinks to fuel us up!
Go Brent!!
We were all exhausted after that boat trip. Time for Kade's nap and Brock's first lesson with Othello. He lasted longer than I thought he would.... but we were not able to finish the game. It is designed for ages 8 and up!
