Inspired by our vacation to the Smokies, the kids recreated their own forest in the play bed. They dug a river (which was later dubbed the chocolate river), built a bridge, created mountains and broke limbs off our trees to create the forest. They generally had a terrific time getting muddy and filthy, an integral component to a fun summer!
We have been swimming a ton this summer, and the kids are progressing so well! Today Carter was independently jumping into the deep end, coming to the surface and swimming to the wall. Ava was swimming all over the shallow end, she is still a little too timid to attempt the deep end. Of course Dawson is a crazy maniac jumping into the pool without his floaties and swimming like a champ. It is so full to watch these skills develop and we have a ball every time we go to the pool. I have to say, I will enjoy the day when I don't have to watch the three of them with an eagle eye but it has been such a fun summer.
