Beachin' it!

Time is already flying!!! Ella starts summer rec next week and then off to girl scout camp. After that is the second week in July already. Yesterday I made plans to go with Dianna and Adam to the beach on July 12th because we are both booked solid until then. LOL! Ella had a blast at the waterslides the other day. Weston enjoyed his last day with Mr. Joe at daycare and today he starts Miss Kathy's. So far she says he is doing wonderfully. Yippee! Ella was with Pa today but ended up at Aunt Kris' because she wanted to go swimming.

Yesterday we decided to go to Laura's house on Patchaug pond so we could go to the beach. Emma came along since her parents were busy unpacking their new house! The kids had a blast as always. Did you know that ponds have sea shells too? I learned something yesterday. Apparently there is some form of clam in the pond?? Who knew. The girls swam out. Weston went in pretty far as well. They ofcoarse collected a bunch of rocks and shells. Laura's daughter Molly was there with her nephew Ryan. Weston told her that he "hates babies". Lovely. It was really beautiful there. Boats were going by, jet ski's, and beautiful houses. You wouldn't know you were in Griswold.

Afterwards Emma wanted to come back to the house to play, so we did. Mack was really well behaved for Emma being new to him. He only jumped a little when he got out of the crate. The kids went outside to play on the tire swing and in the sand box. Then it was time to go to swim class! We drove Emma home and got to swim class a little earlier so we could play on the the play scape. Ella's friend Evan joined us too. Weston and Ella did wonderful at swim class. Mr. Nate came over and got Ella wet. She giggled through it. Weston had no fear and was really happy to be in class. He even did the bar bells which he told his other instructor Miss Selene that he hates! I guess that is a favorite new word. He was kicking on that with no one holding onto him. Awesome! Ella is in Butterfly I for the first time and did amazing! She swam all the way down to the bottom of the pool to retrieve a little ship. I was really impressed with both of them.

Afterwards we went home and made dinner and the kids played with Dylan and Griffin from next door for a short period of time. We are really working hard on our tans and oh boy we are already quite bronze. Hopefully tomorrow we will be going to Hopeville with Missy and the crew, but Joe just had an accident at work and cut off two of his fingers. They were re-attached and hopefully will take. It will depend on how he is feeling. We also need to sign up for the library reading program which started yesterday. Busy, busy, busy!!!
