splash!

Yes, it's time for swimming lessons again!  Britton is in level 3 this summer, so by the end of class she should be swimming all by herself, with no flotation devices.  Barrett knew something was up when I started covering him and Britton with sunscreen, and he had no intention of not being invited to the pool.  Poor Barrett - his swimming lessons don't start for another month!

"Is it all rubbed in, Mommy?"

Britton's class jumped right into the pool, even though that water had to be freezing!  She did a great job, going all the way underwater, kicking with the kick board, and listening to her teachers.

After swimming, Britton and I went to a Girl Scout outdoor event.  Once we got home, it was fitting to continue our welcome to summer with a run to our favorite ice cream shop!  Kids line up to get onto this cow out front - it appears to be a requirement before you get your cone.

And Barrett never lets me wear my sunglasses for long.  Yes, he has his own, but sometimes Mommy's big shades are the only ones that will do!
