Last day of swimming lessons pictures with our instructors!

Bethany and Rebecca liked the way Drew, their instructor, would allow them to swim from the deep end all the way to the shallow end at the close of each lesson. Other teachers made them climb out immediately when a class was over. They loved his method better!
John was a very brave young man who did a fantastic job with Josiah. He turned this very reluctant crying little student into a happy, smiling, willing learner! Josiah really likes John!!

Samuel and his friend liked their instructor, Kristin. She was almost always smiling and made the lessons fun for these two.

Rebecca turns 9!

On the 16th, we had a surprise birthday party at the park for Rebecca.
We had pizza, Koolaid, and strawberry shortcake.
Then, they all played at the water park and had a great time!
So much fun was had that almost everyone fell asleep on the way home.

Uh-oh :-O




The top pic is of a normal humming bird... below... well, it seems that his parents forgot to teach this fellow his manners in portion control... Lol! This just cracks me up when this fellow comes to the feeder (and did you notice the hair-do?).
