Swimming Lessons

Well, today we finished swimming lessons. D and E didn't move up to the next level. What is it with our children being afraid to put their heads in the water? M is able to move up to the next level and her teacher said that she could probably move up two levels. She was so excited. A was the most disappointed. She has to repeat Level One again. She sat on my knee for quite a while this morning after we got home. She had tried really hard but wasn't able to do some of the things that were required. It is so hard to see her sad. We will have her try again...maybe in the fall.

Happy Canada Day

One of our Grocery Stores in town celebrates Canada Day. This is the 2nd year they have done this. We went early this year so we could get the cool canvas Canada bag. They take pictures every year and this is us! They liked the picture so much, they asked us if they could use it on their picture board next year. The kids had fun doing a quiz and hopefully one of them will win a prize.

We had some yummy Canadian food for lunch. They served Poutine and Beaver Tails. Of course the poutine wasn't as good as DQ or A&W but it was all right for the day. I had never had a Beaver Tail but it was good too.

Classic M and A

Our girls have always loved pretending that they are animals. This is a picture that I am sure we will still laugh at 30 years from now. Can you guess what they are doing in this picture?
