Swimming lessons

The kids took swimming lessons June 29th to July 9th at the Bear River Nat. They loved it and had such a good time. The classes were so small. Maren's class only had two students and all the others had around four. It was so nice. Maggie is swimming! We are so proud of her. McKenna went off the high dive for the first time. It took a lot of coaxing from the crowd, who was rooting her on and $5 from Jen, but she is so proud of herself and wants everyone to know. Brenden is doing flips off everything. He is really improving his strokes. Maren is just our little fish. She has no fear what so ever. Given any chance, they would choose to swim, whenever, where ever.

Fourth of July, we spent here in Elwood. Trent ended up irrigating until 3am that morning, so needless to say he was way tired. We didn't get up and ready in time to make it up to Liberty Days as usual, so we decided to hit our towns, so that the kids weren't too disappointed. We had a really good time. They enjoyed the airplane candy drop, bingo and kids games. We had a really yummy breakfast, which I enjoyed, because I didn't have to cook it. The Mayor asked me if I would head up the Fourth of July next year and I told him no! He asked why and I told him, because I was told we couldn't do greased pigs and chicken chases. He told me could work it out, so here I am. I am really exited about it. We have a great family that is co-chairing it with me and numerous people from the area who are more than willing to help out. I think it is going to amazing! We have such an awesome community. There is no place like Elwood!
