Austin's parents came this week to hang out with the kids while I was at Girls Camp.
Even though it was the hottest week in Vermont history, they all had a great time and did lots of fun stuff without the parents.
The highlight was the visit to the Shelburne Museum. And the highlight of the Shelburne, as always, was the carousel.
Lucy and Gavin also started swimming lessons at the Northfield Pool this week.
Lucy started at Level 2 but was bumped up to Level 3 the second day. This is her class, with her teacher Alicia. She is excited because her friend Corinne is in her class.
Lucy just loves to run and jump off the diving board. She would happily do this for hours.
Gavin started his very first swimming lessons ever and he's doing great. He insists on wearing his goggles but he's willing to put his face in the water, or do whatever his teacher Shawn wants him to do. He thinks Shawn is SO COOL.
Gavin's first "jump" off the diving board. Assisted by Shawn and Alicia.
In other news . . . Lucy got back from swimming lessons one morning to discover that one of her chickens laid an egg! Our first chicken egg!
Lucy loves her chickens. She won't eat chicken and she won't eat eggs, so they're just fun pets to her. She does a great job taking care of them. As you can see, they love her too!
