Day 209 and 210

Day 209 - Last day of swim lessons.  Hannah moves up to the next level, side breathers and Haley gets to stay in Turtles.  The girls likely won't take lessons again until next Sping.  Hoepfully they will get to practice their new skills while we are on vacation.  They got to celebrate the last day of the session by getting popcorn after lessons and playing on the play structure.  They just discovered that they are allowed to play on the structure just today (after 3 years of taking lessons here!).  Of course I knew it was there, I just didn't divulge the information. And frinakly, I was never sure if it was open to the public, turns out that it is.  John kept on with the painting, so I accompanied the girls on a bike ride around the neighborhood. Now that Hannah is off training wheels and Haley is stronger on her bike, it is tough to keep up with them even when I am walking fast.  I'm happy to have the workout.  I had a nice time hanging out with them, they were very chatty.  Truth be told, I had taken my iPod with me, but I never did get to listen to more than a minute worth of a podcast since I stopped it everytime they talked to me, I didn't mind.

Day 210 - Recess Monkey again today! We saw them at Silver Lake which is where we first saw them last summer.  The kids played at the adjacent playground for the entire concert except for a brief stint in the Recess Monkey conga line during the monkey bar song.  More painting for John, a 10 mile run for me, and a little bit of bike riding for Hannah on our street.  I ran on the Burke Gilman, but under estimated when I would stop running and didn't get back to my car until near dark.  Note to self - start run earlier next time! The girls had wanted to repeat last night's twilight bike ride around the neighborhood, but I didn't get back in time and I'm feeling slightly guilty. 

I am officially completely up to date on my blog . . . just in time to get completely backlogged again!
