July Flew By!

I missed our July completely!  It started off with two weeks of swimming lessons!  Every morning, Rachel's lesson was at 8:30 am-9:10am, then Zane's was at 10:10 am-11.  We were gone all morning during those two weeks!  The first day we stayed between lessons, but the rest of the time we ran around town doing various things.  On the last day we went to a park right by the instructor's house!  I wish we had done that before but I didn't realize it was so close!

Boy, the kids were so brave.  I've never been a swimmer and can hardly put my face in the water.  Every day they had to do this and it was really hard for them.  But both of them did it anyways.  It was pretty stress filled for us in the mornings because like I said, it was hard.  We celebrated being done with lessons with pizza with dada and every day (well, probably for more than a week) we got donuts after every lesson because they were so brave and gave me smiles.  I'm sure next summer will be easier!  I got some good pictures and good videos of them.

Swimming brings on an appetite.  So glad for strawberries and grapes.
