The girls took swim lessons this summer – a half hour every day for two weeks. Both girls had a bit of a hard time putting their faces under, but after a few days of tears for Diana, she suddenly flipped a switch and started loving it. Helen never got to that point, but she never complained about going, and blew bubbles like she was supposed to.
We had an East Coast vacation and visited friends in Rhode Island, and Uncle Chris and Aunt Karen in Burlington. A quick stop at the Ben & Jerry’s factory on the way down to Brattleboro, and then back home for the first day of school.
Both girls had fun birthdays, and loved using Diana’s new bow and arrow set. Now we just need to reconfigure the set up so that the archery range isn’t right in front of the slide….
A day trip up to Vancouver to see Chris and Karen again yielded these cute pics of the girls and the broze statues down on the shore. What a fun day, capped off by an Indonesian meal. The girls were on cloud nine!
