Weekend

We had a very fun filled weekend. On Saturday we went to our annual neighborhood picnic. As you can see they had some super fun activities for the kids. The boys loved it. The picture on the left is like a jumping circle and the one on the right is of a fire engine slide!
We also did a lot of swimming this weekend. We joined a nearby neighborhood pool and the kids have really really been enjoying the water. Especially Gracie! She laughs and kicks the entire time. It's so nice because it's not busy like the public pool. Adam has not enjoyed swimming lessons at all this year. We got the opposite result we were looking for with lessons. He is now more scared than ever of the water. He won't even go near the swimming lesson instructors or the water. So we are not pushing the lessons and instead Justin and I (and Alex and Anna) are working with him at this neighborhood pool. After only two times going, he has made leaps and bounds! He even swam by himself with water wings on yesterday. It's funny, Uncle Alex has a deal made with Adam. If he puts his head under water, Alex will buy him a big blow up dolphin (that another kid had when we were there). I'll keep you posted when and if that ever happens! :-)


On Sunday we spent the day on the beach and boating with my brother Alex and his wife Anna, and my Mom and Dad. It was great. The boys had a blast! Gracie took a nap in the tent. I can't believe how well the kids did. They loved playing the water and the sand.
