Swim Lessons

Both kids are doing swim lessons this summer at our local YMCA. It's Samuel's 2nd summer taking lessons, and Becca 1st. Our YMCA has a new outdoor pool with a splash pad area and a big water slide. It's super cool. We're not actually members there, but the kids can use the facilities during lessons. We have had some lessons in the new outdoor pool and some in the inside pool (like this morning when it was a whopping 58 degrees out at 8:30 am!)

Here are some pictures and videos of the kids at swim lessons:

Science Central

This week I went on a field trip with the 1st graders to our local science museum, Science Central.  Samuel has been here before and really likes it. Here are some pictures from his trip:

The boys looking at the funny mirrors.

At the fog simulator.

Watching a balloon filled with oxygen
explode when it touched fire.

My group to chaperone.
 (clearly that one boy is going to be a basketball player someday.)

Finally, a video of Samuel spinning round and round (and round and round). Before I put the video, here is a picture of him three years ago at the same exhibit. Look how much he has grown!
