It has been a while since I have taken the time to update the blog and this weekend definitely deserves a post! While it was one of the busiest weekends we have had this summer, it definitely was one of the most fun as well!
Saturday was jam packed! It started with swimming lessons for all the kids and then we went to Parker’s Lake for Brian’s company picnic. Following that we headed over to Minnetonka Regional Park where we spent 3 hours swimming! By the end of the day Katelin was officially scooping and kicking all on her own with her head fully submerged in water! She was probably swimming at least 10 feet by herself which is a HUGE accomplishment! Annie was doing pretty good too but her big accomplishment was floating on her back all by herself with no floaties or support! We hope to get in a few more practices before next Saturday for their swimming lesson test. Practice is really the most important thing and just letting them have fun in the water! Even James enjoyed the lake this time too! Then Brian had a great idea to have dinner on the deck at Fletchers. Hard to believe that I worked there for four summers about 15 years ago! While it seems to have changed a lot, it also seemed the same. Kate said something that made me laugh…as we were looking at the dirty water by the dock she said “Good thing we are human!” She didn’t want to have to live in that water. Too cute. It was a perfect day and once again James was so well behaved for having no nap all day. He even slept until 10AM this morning (14 hours)!!!
Today we had the annual Wayzata Fire fighters family picnic at the fire house in Wayzata. The girls had fun on the bouncers, Kate loved the water slide, and of course the ride on top of the fire truck was awesome as usual!!! Brian’s best part was the food…he managed to eat 6 ears of corn, ribs, and chicken! We remembered to bring the camera along so we got some good pics of the fun day. I am guessing everyone will sleep really well tonight after all the sun and fun we had this weekend!
