I pick their clothes…but they pick their poses…

I’ll take what I can get these days!

Who needs toys when you have a giant box?!

Off to sail the seven seas!

While Robert and I were living it up in Nantucket, the kids were having their own awesome adventures with Mrs. Susan back at home! There were trips to Moe’s, a new Captain Underpants movie, a trip to the rock and gem show…no dull moments for them!

It sure was nice to be away and not worry about the kids for one second. I knew they were safe and happy with the one and only Mrs. Susan! Thank you, thank you, thank you Susan for keeping them all so well entertained!!! They sure did love their “bunking party!”

Like last year and the year before that, we did two weeks of swim lessons every day with Coach Laura. The first day Baby wasn’t quite so sure…

and there were lots of tears each time it was her turn. But she also figured out that getting to play on “the beach” in between turns was pretty fun!

Second day, still skeptical…

and still lots of tears during her turn.

Third day she was starting to doubt…

but then thought about it…

and decided swimming was really fun and there were NO MORE TEARS from that point forward! hooray!

Going every day for two weeks is a haul but it’s worth it – and lots of fun when you get to do it with some buddies!

Baby is a jumping, kicking, and almost-but-not-quite-swimming by herself machine. Spencer did fantastic as well and improved every day. Maxwell continued to be a great swimmer and was doing breast stroke by the end!

Also, kids in goggles are funny…

A great kick off to summer and we can’t wait to spend more time in the pool!
