Summer Fun: Swimming Lessons and Cheer Camp

In late July last year, the kids had the chance to take swimming lessons. Justin took a Mommy and Me class, and the other kids took regular classes. They loved it as usual, especially jumping off the diving board.




Strangely, the week we took lessons was very cold. Justin didn't really enjoy his lessons for this reason, and because someone was telling him what to do. He just wanted to play in the warmer, shallow water!



Sadie also participated in Cheer Camp for the second year in a row. She loves it and does a great job! She even came in 2nd place in the Hula Hoop competition!




Summer Fun: Wilson's Wild Animal Park

This July we went to a local wild animal park. It is literally 10 minutes from my house, but I just found out about it a year ago. We met some friends there and spent a few hours. It was a lot of fun for the kids.
Did y'll know we have a lion in Winchester??? I'm not too fond of the idea!
This camel LOVED Isaac and kept trying to lick him. He thought it was pretty funny!


Justin kept calling this a "green sea turtle", so we'll just let him believe that's what it is!

There were a few tractors for the kids to play on, one of Justin's favorite things!


There are also bears, but because they live in the wild here, I'd much rather see them behind a fence!

The kids also got to feed the very friendly goats.
