The next generation is learning to swim. I am constantly reminded of fun times with our kids when they learned to swim. Lea was an inspiration to Sophie and Laynie in the pool this week. Malachi was up with the family last night, and he just learned to swim underwater. Funny how they learn best from each other.

Independence Eve
We had a little early celebration on Sunday with swimming, swinging, eating and a special event: first time S'mores for Laynie and Emmalyn.

Another fourth of July has come and gone and this one did not disappoint. We missed several regulars again this year: two Sikora families as well as Matt & Erin Frank. Maybe next year......anyway, the weather was great, there were a million kids, the food was superb and the fireworks in Sophie's words were beautiful. The pool was completed in the nick of time and if you looked real close, one could see new grass poking through the straw in the yard. Yes, Pa came through again and shame on anyone who bet against him. I included a video for Heather and Jeremy since there were no fireworks in Texas this year. Turn your volume off because Sophie and Averi screamed through the whole show.
