Swimming and summer camp

Ella's been doing really well in her swim class but there was one thing she'd been struggling with, her freestyle log roll. That until  last week when we were at the neighborhood pool. She finally got it. This girl's got some speed and now good technique too. She swims almost an entire lap without stopping. Needless to say that she's very happy with her feat and especially that her instructor whom she loves, Ms. Kim, gave her some good news on Saturday: she gets to move up to the next level. 401, here we come! :)


Summer camp is in full-swing. They have two-to-three field trips every week, fun but sometimes exhausting especially when you have other classes afterwards like swimming, horsebackriding, or piano.  So far she got to go go some neat places such as art studios, museums, wildlife retreats, stadiums, etc. They even kicked off the Olympics!! :) Sprinting was her favorite.


She's been enjoying her piano practice at home a little more lately, especially when she gets it and makes it sound so beautiful. She cracked me up yesterday when she put her nice hat on and went to practice. Jazz anyone??

Then daddy came home with this: we were overdue to replace one of our cars so this is a nice addition to our family. :) Yup, we are a Honda family.



I love the skies and clouds, and I just could not pass this one up. Beautiful.
