Fishy fishy

The boys completed their first swim class together in January. They had a great time working with their teacher and getting to know the one other child in the class.

The boy passed the level and has moved on to the next! He's enjoying learning to float and glide on his own.

Splash park!

After being closed for upgrades all summer, the new and improved splash park at our local playground has now been reopened. (And just in time for fall!)

The boys had a great time exploring it today, as well as running around the playground and green space as usual. Two hours later, they were ready for the hike back home. Glad we got to check it out before the fall weather hit!

Farm Day

Today we joined some other families at a local petting farm to celebrate a friend's birthday.

The boys had a great time walking around the farm, learning about the animals, feeding the rabbits, and petting the goats. The boy got to practice milking a cow, which turned out to be harder than it looked! We enjoyed a picnic lunch there afterwards.

We talked about why some animals were accessible to us and others were kept in their own separate areas where the public couldn't touch them. It was interesting to speculate on the various reasons.

Happy birthday to our newly-two-year-old friend!
