So, have we accomplished *anything* on the Summer Bucket List? Well, so far, we've had the cousins over... and Maddie got lost. I think we'll have to find some sort of GPS tracker for her, as that's the 2nd or 3rd time in as many days. That's a lot of lost for that girlfriend! (And a lot of stress for her mama).
    We've done a LOT of swimming! The kids are LOVING the swimming lessons! See the Instagr.am photos on Facebook for how much fun that has been! Darth Maximus swore he was NOT going to dive into the "deep deep" and then after he was successful once, he was volunteering to dive 1st. He's mostly a pest in the swimming pool. He's always got his hand up, either to splash his ever-patient teacher, or to volunteer to drive her absolutely crazy. He's cuter than a bug's ear, but he'll also pester people until he gets whatever he wants. I do hope he improves his swimming. He's mastered floating, but he's not mastered the significant strokes yet. He'll definitely be repeating Level 3.
     Asa and Seth are doing well in Level 4, but their teacher is not super strong, or else Asa has regressed a LOT since the end of the year. Asa will definitely be repeating Level 4. Asa is really patient in the pool, and he really enjoys being in the water. His best experience in swimming was last summer when he was in a class by himself, by accident. Not sure how it happened, but he learned more in those 2 weeks than he did the entire rest of the summer. Great teacher, great experience.
     Jax and Xanni are both diving this time. Jax is getting the diving (still having a hard time not doing the flip with the dive), but Xan is having a harder time. Xan doesn't like going head first into the pool. They each have 3 more days until the first test.

     Back to the bucket list.
#5 I did make home-made popsicles. The kids LOVED them. :)
