Abbie had a busy July. She finished a month's worth of swimming lessons and improved her skills dramatically. She went from asking to not have to go to swimming lessons to getting excited and jumping around when I said it was time. I consider that success.
She also participated in the Days of 47 Youth Parade that takes place the week before the Days of 47 Parade.She didn't seem too impressed with the actually parade, but the bounce house at the end was a highlight.
The best part of the last few weeks was a camping trip over the 24th of July weekend. We got up to the camp site and within minutes Savannah was covered in mud, but I couldn't blame her. There was a small stream running right next to the site and it was too inviting to ignore. It became a repository for wayward rocks, pincones and anything else the girls thought might belong there. After setting up came we went on an impromptu hike. Savannah was a really trooper and Abbie was a botenist on the about mile round trip adventure. (Note: Do not go on a hike at dinner time.)
Dinner was roasted hot dogs and marshmellows and dirt. Abbie and Savannah slept okay in the tent. But we were trying to share a queen size air mattress with our whole family and Savannah is used to flopping all over a crib so things were pretty crazy at some points. Overall however very good.
In the morning we went up to Silver Lake and
were eaten alive by mosquitoes walked around. The water was so clear you could see the fish swimming around. Overall it was nice to beat the heat and escape the pressures of life for a few hours. We had a great time!
