Swimming!

We've been swimming a lot lately. So much, that one day, Kate just started swimming all by herself. We were on our trip across the country when she just suddenly started swimming. About 5 minutes beforehand, I thought to myself that it would probably be at least a year before she started swimming on her own because she didn't want to put her face in the water and she wasn't floating at all. Mark went up to the hotel room to get a few things; he came back 5 minutes later and Kate was swimming! Crazy, that kid. Here is a video of her swimming in our pool.

Not to be outdone by his sister, Luke has also made some giant strides in swimming these past few days. He is absolutely fearless. Here is a video of him.

Pretend City

We saw something really cool at Pretend City the other day:

And the kids had a lot of fun exploring, imagining and creating!
