Technical Difficulties

We are still here. The card on my camera croaked, and so Todd ordered me a replacement. I lost lots of pictures that hadn't been saved, but I'm not going to dwell on it. I have my old faithful Canon that never dies, so I'm firing it up for our outing today.

We went to a nice waterpark with the boys on Saturday that they both loved called Hawaiian Falls. It's right down the road, and Todd and I both remarked how the boys don't know how different this is from the way we grew up. Going to something as fancy as that required many hours in the car for both of us! Anyway, they had a wonderful time...Henry mostly splashed and played in the sprayers, and Leo rode the slides he was tall enough to qualify for and played in the wave pool. You could also take a cooler into this place, so I packed us a beautiful healthy lunch. But I lost all the pictures.

School starts for Leo on Monday, and today at 4pm we can go see who his tchr is and who's in his class. I'm taking both boys to a pool in Plano today after Henry's swimming lessons, and if I'm still sane...I'm going to take them to the Boy Scout Museum in Irving tomorrow. Things I meant to do all summer, so now we're down to the wire.

Henry is doing amazing in his swimming class, and I hope to have a new video soon. I've signed both of them up for indoor swimming lessons through Plano Parks and Rec for the fall - I don't want Henry to forget what he has learned, and Leo needs some practice on swimming distances. He has had trouble passing the swimming competency test at the Y when his daycamp goes there for swimming day. I think it's mostly a confidence issue combined with lack of practice.

Off to pack another cooler with lunch for today and gather up swimsuits, sunscreen, and towels. I can pack a cooler with a great lunch - start to finish - in about 20 minutes.
