Summer is ending

Today was the last day of swim lessons. Kate refused to get in the water. Fall is in the air, so getting into cold water on a cool morning didn't appeal to her. Emily, Eleanor, and Zach passed their classes. It didn't surprise me that Kate didn't pass her class since it usually takes 2 or more sessions to pass a class. Emily has completed all of the swim classes. I could watch Emily do the crawl stroke all day long. It is so beautiful! Zoe and Emily want to take the water safety course together next summer. I can see several, if not all of our kids being lifeguards when they are old enough.

Zoe spent the night with my parents last night and then finished up her school supply shopping with my mom this morning. Then Zoe, Emily, and Eleanor went shopping for pants with Patti this afternoon. We found a lot of shirts when we went shopping at Goodwill, but few pants. It was very sweet of Patti to call this morning and offer to take the girls shopping. :-)

I took Zach, Kate, and Noah to the last free swim of the summer. It was a sunny day, which was nice, but the water was still cold. I only know that because the kids said so. Swimming weather has come and gone for me.

Matt and I are going to the temple tomorrow on the stake bus trip, so the kids are staying with my parents until Sunday. I'm looking forward to being in the temple tomorrow. :-)
