hot summer days

We started off today heading to swim lessons. Heather did great and got both arms out of the water doing the crawl with her feet kicking. By the end of the 2 weeks she may have it down! After that we headed to a lake nearby with friends. The kids had a good time playing in the sand, the water and playground. It was REALLY hot but being in and out of the water they lasted for a long time. On the way home they fell asleep within a few minutes. We had neighbors over for a spur of the moment dinner and then they played games with the kids and then we all took a walk. The kids have an amazing amount of energy left for having had such a busy day. A highlight of the evening was the kids telling knock knock jokes which involved anything which wanted to go down the slide but couldn't and in the door but they went to the house and then took a walk....they tell the longest knock knock jokes ever which make no sense and then crack up hysterically or wait of an appropriate response. Jeff googled some knock knocks so maybe they can be funny in a legitimate way!
