We started the day with spinach omelets and Joshua as my helper, then it was time for school - we try to get started about 8:30 and finish up by noon so the afternoon is free to play :) Sarah made some big accomplishments in the pool today. She's always been afraid of the water, doesn't like to get her face wet or "go under", but this summer in Vernon she started to dunk her head. BIG step for her! The pool here with all the rock work has all kinds of levels and platforms making it perfect for her as she practices jumping in. She started at the lower level (first video) and with Daddy's encouragement and Joshua's careful guidance (it was so sweet to watch him carefully direct her with his hands hands held out in case she fell!!) she moved to the second and then finally the waterfall level (second video) - she is feeling pretty pleased with herself! Once she's comfortable with this, hopefully we can get that lifejacket off! :)
We have an older camera that we let the kids take whenever we go on an outing so they can snap away. It's interesting to download and see {from their viewpoint} what interests them. As I was downloading the little video clips of Sarah, I noticed some photos they took from Yosemite National Park.
Here's their photos of that amazing day!
Sarah we are so proud of you - good job. Keep up the good work. Keep those pictures and videos coming. We love getting them.
