Family Schooling and Fun: Marine Reptiles Snorkeling

Another fun week of Marine Biology (plus all the usual educational pursuits-- guitar lessons, reading, math, and writing).  I realized this morning that everyone else is going "back-to-school" virtually starting tomorrow. WE DID IT! We did schooling very diligently all summer. We deserve a prize or something.  Swimming and pizza at our friends' pool has become a weekly thing.  It is a pretty fabulous prize. 

We saw a sale on snorkels and the swim lesson coach told me awhile ago that they are good for helping kids keep correct head/back position while swimming (face down eyes looking forward). 

The pool was a little cooler than last time (only 88F) and a storm was blowing past when we first arrived. Baby A protested and then got used to it. 

The diving board has been great practice for the kids to get comfortable with diving. It's not something they get to do much at swim lessons. 

Miss L decided their marine reptile should be "swimming" together. 

All this talk about crustaceans, bi-valves and arthropods made me so hungry for seafood.  We had shrimp with our salads Friday night.
