Busy

Our homeschool group girls. About four are missing. Aren't they cute!

We have had a very busy week. First, we had visitors that stayed with us for a week. Next, we had a big "end of the year" bash for our youth groups, and we have been working very hard to finish our schooling for the year. Plus, swimming lessons and mother's day, and a field trip to see the Bangor Symphony Orchestra do Peter and the Wolf with the home school group.

Anyway, I took pictures of the kids at the pool. Mikayla and Nathanael have both moved up a level and are doing very well. I can already see a big improvement in their endurance. They are also much more careful about their strokes. Alana is working on being brave. She is still quite fearful. She is very happy to get in the pool and dance around. As long as her feet don't have to leave the floor of the pool she is fine. This week she got so she could kick and paddle her hands at least. Her teacher is really pushy, and Alana really hates to be pushed. I'm debating whether I should talk to the teacher about that or not. I'm afraid if we push her to much, that the fear of the water will just get worse.

I also took pictures of our youth group party. We had 14 kids. They had a blast. I think that the parents had a lot of fun, too, which is always good. One teenager was saved after Terry's campfire devotional.
