What a Day!!

Since we have been running non-stop so far this summer, today was the kids first day of Swimming Lessons and Camp!

Swimming lessons went very well. {Sorry I have no pictures!} Anneli is in Level 1 and Christopher is in Level 3. They were both excited to see their friends at the pool. Christopher was super siked because his best friend Zak was in his lesson! Not sure if it is a good thing, but they both had a blast. I was very, very happy because Anneli was listening to the instructors and even going underwater! I admit, I bribed her a little, but she is doing awesome!!

We then stopped at McDonald's and grabbed Happy Meals for lunch, which we brought home and ate as a picnic in the living room. We did a few things around the house and then it was off to Camp!

As I was dropping them off at camp, my cell phone rang. It was Shaun inviting me on a lunch date to Wendy's! I love having him working locally (he's usually working on site about an hour or so away from home) so we can have lunch together--no kids is even better!! :) It's good and bad that he will only be working in the main office a little longer since he's got another project starting soon. This project is at five different locations around the state, but he'll love it! Lots of driving but what else is new!!

After lunch, I went home and worked on the kids bedroom renovations (I'll post about that separately soon...) and before I knew it, it was time to pick the kids up at camp. They had a blast and can't wait to go again tomorrow---hopefully it doesn't rain! Check out the hats they designed! Super cute!!

The kids were a little tired after camp, but our day wasn't done yet! When Shaun got home, we caught up with his cousin Renee who was here in CT (6 minutes away!) at a Math Conference. We picked her up at her hotel and took her to dinner at Lake Compounce! We didn't have much time, but it was nice having dinner, walking around, going on a few rides and enjoying each other's company. Anneli totally took a shine to Renee! Too bad she's going to school in Texas!!

The kids were exhausted and fell asleep on the ride to drop Renee off at her hotel. What a great day!! Thanks for catching up with us Renee!!
