Emily

Friday was our last morning of swimming at Cascade Bay.  We have had so much fun swimming this summer, in fact Allie, Katie and Emily all learned how to swim over the course of this summer!  At the beginning of the summer, there were no dolphin dives, no jumping in all by ourselves and no swimming on our own.  As the summer progressed all of the girls got braver and braver and wanted to try more things.  We all are so proud of our little swimmers!

This weekend we are taking care of Emily.  Emily's mom Miss Karen had some dental work done and is out of commission so when she asked me if I could help her out, I was more than happy to say yes. Friday we took Emily to the pool with us, then went to Lebanon Hills Park for a picnic and hike and then back to our house for a snack and play time.  We made apple smiles out of apple slices, marshmallows and peanut butter and then we brought Emily home around 4 PM.

Today I picked up Emily after I finished work and we went to the park, "Chutes and Ladders" in Bloomington.  We will have her tomorrow for a bit too.  Emily is such a dear to have around and all of the girls play so well together.  It was a great way to end our summer of fun together!
