July is flying by and we're continuing our summer fun. The girls continue to improve in their swimming and their bike-riding, and it's amazing to see the change each week can bring. Nina has figured out how to do a front-crawl, hand stands, and swim to the bottom of the pool to pick up items. Pip can now jump in and then swim back to the wall unassisted. Nina is also learning how to play solitaire.
The girls had a great birthday party at Como Pool. Some friends & family were able to come and the girls had a blast showing everyone their favorite parts of the pool. We were fortunate that all their grandparents were able to make it to the party and could also hang out at the lake for music afterward.
For Ben's birthday we played mini-golf (Nina was an excellent score-keeper), ate Jucy Lucy's, and we had a picnic on the beach at Lake Harriet.
The girls got to go to the racetrack for extreme race day. We had fun watching the horse races and loved seeing the camels and ostriches. The girls struggled at picking winners; twice Nina's rider's fell off their animal and Pip kept picking horses that scratched and didn't even race. They enjoyed the petting zoo and playground too.
