Hannah and Andrew just finished swimming lessons. They did really well. I was surprised what they are able to teach a 4 and 2 year old. They had a lot of fun doing it. Andrew did a mommy or daddy and me class. Dave and I took turns with him and Shane and Bonny were in the class with us. We had really weird weather...it was a little chilly on a couple of days and we had a lot of wind, so the kids were usually freezing by the time they were done. One would think that the end of July would be a safe time to do outdoor swimming lessons, but you never know in Idaho.
We had some friends move away about a year ago and they were in town this week to visit. We went over to hang out at a park with them. Hannah and Annabelle were great little friends before they moved away. It was fun for them to see each other again. Our neighbor has a little train that they pull behind their four wheeler. They came over and gave the kids a ride. We had fun visiting with them and catching up...I'm so happy that we were able to see them again!
We took Rachel, Hannah, and Andrew to the zoo last weekend. (Jacob and Becca were off doing other teenage things). They had a lot of fun. It was Andrew's first trip to the zoo that he can remember, so he was pretty fascinated by the animals. He loved watching the monkeys the most. I think we spent about 30 minutes in that section. They all loved feeding the animals in the petting zoo. Hannah could have done that all day! Andrew was sooo hilarious! He kept saying, "it eat New New (Andrew)," about several of the animals that we saw, especially the lions and tigers. Finally, when he said it about the snow leopard, I told him that he wasn't going to get eaten. He replied, "It eat New New's shoes?" What a character!
Mathew and Michael came over a few days ago. The kids are such good little friends. They always have a a great time together. They played in our backyard on our gym set. We are going to put bark down under it, but haven't had the time to do it yet. So...the kids were filthy by the time they were finished playing. It also doesn't help that they like pouring dirt all over themselves and each other. And, I'm not really sure what Andrew's problem is in the swing picture...he acts like a two year old quite often. :0)
We gave them all a bath when they were done. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the tub after they got out...eeeww! gross!
