Miss Julia, the same sweet former student of my mom's, taught swimming lessons again this year. Hannah's first few times in the pool with us did not look promising...she did NOT want to put her face in the water. But she overcame her fear in the first lesson and has made REALLY great progress. She is almost swimming independently. Lessons are over, but we're still hoping to get in the water a few more times with her and practice what she's learned.
We haven't spent much time outside unless we're in the water....TOO HOT!! But my sister, the girls and I, did take my cousin to the zoo while she was in town. It was super hot, but overall a good visit. Thankfully they had fans and misters set up to cool off.
We spent last weekend in Arkansas visiting Nathan's family. We had a really good visit with his dad and sister (no pictures, his apartment is too dark), and had dinner with good friends. We also decided to drive an hour north to visit the University of Arkansas where Nathan went to school. He enjoyed showing us around campus. The university has a neat tradition of carving the names of all graduates in the sidewalks. The girls thought it was cool to find Daddy's name.
