Children's Day was on April 30th so at church on Sunday all the children got to swim. It's fun to have church at a hotel sometimes, like when we get to use the pool. Alex and Santi had lots of fun and Alex even swam without using floaties. The water came almost up to his chin when he was on tiptoes but he managed. I had a ton of pictures but accidentally erased them. Both my boys swam all day. I think they would've stayed even longer if a thunderstorm hadn't started!
Towards the end of the time we were there only a few kids were still swimming. One small boy started drowning in the deeper end. Alex was close to him and when he was alerted by an adult, he grabbed the boy and brought him to the side of the pool. I was standing right there and didn't even notice until other parents started yelling and Alex grabbed him. Alex was so calm. I am so proud of him. The night before we prayed that God would protect everyone swimming and that no one would be hurt. I am so glad nobody was and that Alex got to be a part of keeping someone safe.
