Olympic Hopefuls

Olympic fever has caught on with the Bennions… well kind of…

The past few weeks Shelly has been trying to make sure the boys get some good pool time. A result of that has been William beginning to actually swim on his own. I left work a little early on Friday so that I could get in on a little of this swim time with the boys. We had such a good time that we have spent a couple of hours each day this weekend in the pool. The result of which was the end of the “arm-floaties”, by the end of the weekend all the Bennions were swimming, jumping, diving and in all otherways enjoying the pool without flotation devices.

In true “Bennionz” style we have video:

Watch Out 2016 Olympics we have our eyes on you!!!

    Michael Phelps look out!!! That was a great little movie. BTW are you guys going to post any pictures from Las Vegas? Even Jess and Michelle haven’t posted. Are they very secretive pictures? Just curious.

    My kids still have a few struggles but are learning to love the water too. We don’t go as often as we should. Congrats on losing the arm floaties. We loved them as well. Your boys are getting so big. WOW! Time flies.
    Give everyone hugs.

    Two little Michael Phelps here for sure! Eric is pretty talented at the movie-making. And I was pleased to see Mason make a brief appearance.

    Congrats to the Bennion boys! I love the song too! I’ll have to use it when we get back to swimming….Kael has decided he’s only swimming in Costa Rica. What a nice pool too!
