Dive Right In

Steve and I took the boys swimming at Alta Canyon last Saturday and Sunday.  On Saturday they both kept going down the water slide and by Sunday Landon insisted on going off the diving board.   


After Landon went a couple of times, Lucas then decided to try it as well.  They had both gone off the diving board for swimming lessons in the past but never on their own time, for fun.

Once they started they did not want to do anything else.  At one point, as Lucas and I watched from the side, Landon did a front flip and almost bonked his head.  It was only his fourth time going off the diving board and I told him no more flips until he learned to jump far enough away from the board that he would not hit his head.  He almost gave this mom a heart attack and Lucas just stood there in awe.   



After about an hour, Landon said he wanted to go off the high diving board!  This kid is fearless I tell ya!!  Lucas had climbed the ladder for the high dive earlier with his friend Liam, but had decided not to do it.  Now, here was his little brother doing it and having a blast. 
 
After watching Landon jump off the high dive a couple of times, Lucas finally said "Well I can't just sit here and watch him do this, I have to go try it." 
So he did!! 
I took Lucas and Landon back to Alta Canyon on Tuesday and for three hours those boys jumped off the diving boards.
