The Mighty M Family

I signed the kids up for 5 total weeks of swimming lessons this summer.  We have 1 more week left later this month. Hannah has been taking diving lessons right before her regular lesson – she just loves to swim! And finally she got the courage to go hands first off the board! Yay Hannah!! Eli isn’t dive ready yet, but swim ready… Absolutely! Hope you all have a great weekend.  I am off to my 20 year HIGH SCHOOL REUNION tonight! 

July 2005 September 2011 Different daughters. 

Yesterday we took advantage of a wonderfully sunny and warm September and took the boat out on the water.  For the first time. In 6 years.  As soon as we got out there I couldn’t believe we waited so long.  What fun!  Or as Hannah put it with the wind blowing on her face: “THIS IS AWESOME!!!” Eli thought so too. Captain Daddy was having fun driving the boat. But then it was time to tube! Which meant Captain Mommy had to take control of the boat. Captain Mommy had to relearn boat driving.  Captain Mommy was nervous. But Captain Mommy did her best and the kids had a blast – especially Hannah who tubed by herself for quite a while after daddy and Eli disembarked.  We had a great day and plan to do this WAY more often next summer!

We spent most of Sunday relaxing in the (HOT) sun.  First at the pool in my Grandma’s neighborhood: The pool water was really cold (to me and dad!) so we didn’t hang out there too long.  After lunch, we headed to the club my Aunt Diane and Uncle Bill use to try out their new water park addition called Splash Cove.  The kids had a good time playing here! We ended the day with a pizza dinner (and cookies!) with Bill and Diane at my Grandma’s house. Another super fun, busy, day!
