19 July, a rainy day

We knew that this would be a large day.  Barbara Vincent offered to give the campers an art class.   Everyone was excited and the pictures tell the tale better than I can: 

These are coffee filters that have been painted.

Many thanks to Barbara for this great idea and her artistic vision.  The campers had a wonderful time.  Barbara has offered to do this again next week and the campers are already excited!

After quiet time (nap time for the adults) we had swimming lessons.  This is the second two week session at the YMCA and we have the same two instructors (Miss Sheryl and Miss Nicole) so the campers feel right at home.  After two weeks of lessons the campers show real progress.  The milestones today were Isaac jumping into the pool with no help, Ruby swimming under water and rising to take a breath four times, and Liv doing somersaults under water in addition to swimming the length of the pool with no breaks.

You can see that Ruby and Miss Sheryl get along great.

Here's proof that Liv can go upside down in the pool.

Isaac's big moment was the jump.

Then it started to rain...but the class went on anyway.  Heck, everyone was already wet!

And the rain turned into a downpour.  Notice that Liv could care less.


 Tomorrow is another large day.  We do not have any events planned...yet.
