Last day at the pool

Not many people there at the start of the session. And it never did get very crowded.

 After swimming we bought popsicles from the ice-cream truck that is always there at closing time.

It was a bit of a messy proposition, but it was our last chance.

Just nine more months until we can come back.

Fair parade

Mimmu and Anja took the kids to see the fair parade.

There were horses, old cars, Shriners, Indians, princesses, and candy.

Lots and lots of candy. They sorted it, shared some with friends, and still we were left with bags and bags of it.

Swim lessons

This year Nora, Henry, and Helena had lessons for the last two-week session at the city pool.

 Everyone had a good time and improved their skills.

Penny spent the time digging in the sandpit or playing in the wading pool once it opened.

Nora and Henry also had one week of lessons just before the pool closed for the year. Henry was in a class of all boys and Nora was the only one at her skill level, so she got one-on-one instruction.

His getaway failed

The Lego thief tried to escape by diving into Anja's coffee. Or something.

Sisters

are the best.

Husking corn

is a perfect summer job for little people.
