Wednesday’s have become our earliest mornings of the week as Aurelia is now taking swim lessons ahead of swimming season here. I signed her up at UVAC in Vermont and we are loving it so far. The pool has a great kids area including a slide and little lazy river. So far we have been twice and each visit the girls have been in the water non-stop for two hours! I have to convince them they are hungry to get them to come out!

Aurelia was so excited for her second lesson, before it began she was teaching Lorelei some of the things she learnt last week. At the end of her lesson the teacher asked her about jumping in the pool, something she did last week which took her off guard as she went completely under. She needed a little convincing but she did it again, came up with a noseful of water but within seconds her teacher had her giggling about it and all was good, phew!

After swimming today we came home and I tried to convince Lorelei to take a nap in her bed as she didn’t nap in the car as planned. Well, she just did not want to nap… so I packed them back into the car after lunch and drove down to Concord as we needed to run a few errands in that direction. The girls where given lollipops at the vets office so I treated myself to a coffee from Starbucks, something I rarely do! Expensive but a treat to savor as we bump our way around the aisles of Target.

Then I also needed a few things from the Co-op so stopped by to say hello to friends and check out the current sales and new items. I always feel special walking in to the Co-op and being greeted by so many familiar faces and getting to learn some of the new ones as well. So I picked up some $5 sushi and some tasty beers, one of which I am enjoying as I write this…

So that’s about it for today. Time to finish this beer and get ready for an early night. Enjoy the slideshow below if you care to…
