1st week of school celebration

All those finishing a first full week of school went on an annual outing to a nice restaurant with Daddy!

Charleston

Finally a much overdue trip to Charleston with the whole family to visit Katie, Chuck, Lucy, and Bree (The kids fell in love with the dog.)  we visited Charles Town Landing, took a horse carriage tour, and visited the Aquarium while not at the Collins house playing in the backyard. Fun Labor Day weekend!

Glad to be in the pool

This crew was glad to hit the pool today!  We played hard all day in the water!

Swim lessons

Lilli Jane did swim lessons this week:
Monday - cried the whole 30 minutes
Tuesday - cried when it was her turn and wanted goggles
Wednesday - couldn't wait for it to be her turn, no tears, no goggles
Thursday - swam and swam and jumped in to swim
Friday - skipped the lesson and all week the next week at the beach swam and swam and swam, by July 7 she swam across the little pool longways alone.  Can swim 3/4 the way from stairs to bench by June 28

Last night...
