Swim Lessons

Swimming is something that Quinn is really good at so we want to encourage it.  We can see him really pushing himself now that we are in the pool almost daily at home.

There is a swim school about 5 doors down from Quinn\’s school and he has started lessons there once a week.  The goal of the school is to teach the kids all 4 swim strokes to get them ready for swim team around age 7 or 8.  Quinn is great in the water but his technique definitely needs some work.

At the end of the lesson on Wednesday Quinn had the fun of going down the waterside, head first of course.

First Hike

On Saturday we went on our first neighborhood hike.  There is a fire road about 10 houses down from us that leads to miles of trails.  

We took a left at the top of the fire road.  

Which leads you right back over our neighborhood.   Our house is in the cul de sac third one on the right.

If you continue on the trail the other side of the hill looks out over Thousand Oaks and beyond.  It seems impossible but I think that might be the ocean in the far distance glowing yellow.   The one long streak of sunlight is going right through the middle of it.  I will have to return for sunset!

Quinn loved the hike and the guys even found a geocache.

And I\’ll finish with a panoramic view.

All About Me

Every Friday Quinn\’s class has a Sharing Day where each child brings something in from home to share with the class.  Some day they have free share and other days have a theme.  Today Quinn and his classmates are sharing their All About Me \”backpacks\”.

And pictures that he took to include in the backpack.

  

Here\’s one I took last night in the hot tub that he included in his bag.
