Camp is over




Susan and I have been swimming several times each week since camp ended. On Monday the 9th, she couldn't swim; by Monday the following week, she was swimming fairly well. I don't swim much myself, but I was able to teach her to swim on her back and to dog
paddle. The flow of the lazy river helps because it moves her along. She can swim about 30 feet now on her back. It's amazing.

We also have been to the playground at Conner Park, sometimes walking over with Brianna. It is about 4 blocks away. Both love to do that. The last time Brianna went with us, she had taken her shoes off and found some she liked better, someone's red sandals.

I tried to take some pictures that evening, but the camera batteries were dead. My friend Linda gave Susan a stuffed dog belonging to her granddaughter Macy. She has carried it and slept with it ever since. At first she called it the Chinese words for Small White, but now its name is Bella.
