Miguel and William just finished their first swim class of the summer. They love the water, and are always excited for swim class, which is a good thing since it was every day for two weeks.

As luck would have it the day I brought the camera is the day William was quite unhappy about not being able to play in the indoor playground at the swim school that is for swim campers only. He kept saying he wanted to be a “camper and play over there.”

His swim teachers were shocked to see me carry a screaming William into the pool area and plop him onto the steps while Miguel trailed behind asking William to be quiet. They did their best to make him happy, but he would have none of it. Miguel even tried to cheer up his brother with splashes, but no luck.

Finally the last ten minutes of class found William happily cannonballing into the pool, and high fiving his teachers. Silly boy.

Pre-meltdown William

Goggled up and ready to go.

Ready, set, jump, Miguel!

William’s turn. Airborne!

Back floating, William.
