Swimming lessons at Hemingway's pool

So our neighbor says to me last week,
"Could we have swimming lesson in your pool?"
"Sure, as long as my grandkids get lessons
for free."
Last night was the first night of lessons.
About 15 kids from the neighborhood came;
first Andrea ( the teacher) had to
check out their abililities, put them in
"first night" classes.
Tonight there will be 4 classes of 30 minutes each.
Kade and Addie were not so sure about the lessons;
Jewelia, Caleb and Micah liked them.
More pictures to follow!

Riverton 4th of July Parade

Tonight Paul and I
went to the Riverton
4th of July parade.
There were 97 entries
Paul found a great parking place
close to the beginning of the parade.

The top 2 pictures are for Eric and Jackie

The kids LOVED all the candy
that was being thrown.
It reminded me of the Washington Twp.
parade we used to take the kids to.
LOTS of candy!
