Y2W42 - Rheinfels
Monday at swimming class, I was watching Bailey do the backstroke and it was quite good. I have been so pleased with the progress she is making. No fear of the water anymore. She has been jumping off of the diving board without any kind of water flotation device. This week she was learning how to dive. It was truly one of those moments where your heart smiles. Look out Michael Phelps! Avery has taken these five weeks off of swimming but when she saw that they were learning to dive, she is thinking of re-signing up for the summer class.
Wednesday was Avery's Class Assembly. Her class theme was Water and how important it is. She had to memorize the sentence, "We need water to wash our hands." She did a great job of speaking slowly and clearly into the microphone. Here are a couple pics.
We took the opportunity to drive to Koblenz on Saturday and South along the Rhein River to Sankt Goar and the Rheinfels Castle. The girls are getting a bit desensitized to the cool castle thing. While Greg and I are always up for a cathedral, castle, small village, the girls are becoming accustomed to these as if they are everyday things. But, they always find a way to entertain themselves. We try to encourage their interest and remind them that this stint in Europe is fleeting and pretty soon we will no longer have some of the opportunities that we do here. We are more than ever trying to see everything we can so we have no regrets when it is time to leave. The only little damper that was put on this glorious day was when Bryn accidentally pinched Avery's finger and gave her a blood blister. Avery was having a hard day forgetting about her finger and just enjoying the day. We plowed through and despite her ailment, I think she still had fun running around the castle.
