Days of Summer

We're in week 3 of swimming lessons, the kids love being in the pool. It's complicated with 2 of them with ear tubes but we do the best we can to make it work. The boys are in the same class together so that makes it easier. Above is Sammy getting ready to enter his class and below is Alex on the diving board in the 9 foot section. Hard pics to see as the lighting in the pool area doesn't help me take pics!
Katie jumping into the 3.5 foot section, she has no fear this year. Last year she screamed and wouldn't go near the water. All the difference in the world, with a different teacher this year.
Katie listening to the safety speech...
We usually have female moose and babies around our house. This is the first bull moose that's been hanging around for about 3 weeks. He comes by everyday and he's a bit agressive so we're more watchful. My dad was working on our block wall towards the back of our yard and the moose fake charged at him, so we watch for him carefully. I'm not sure why he's hanging around here this time of year. He's young and needs to learn a few things!Lego Madness. We had a stop, drop and build day (i.e. rain!). The boys spent hours perfecting their perfect lego from scratch. Alex built a truck and bobcat.
Sammy is all about Batman this summer so of course he made a batmobile.
Brotherly love. Sammy stops riding his bike for a quick hug from his favorite sister.
