Day 5

Church was hip.  Lunch afterwards in their restaurant was tasty.  The brotherly rough-housing due to being restrained in church clothes for too long was unfortunate.  Peter's glasses are now fashionably taped together.  Boo.

Yesterday afternoon we headed south to meet up with my brother's family.  More swimming!  They boys are loving all the pool action.  And I'm loving how they're sleeping so well.  Slept in till 5:30 this morning.  Getting used to this pacific time zone.  Actually, the high-octane swimmers are still slumbering here at 7:25am.  Got to get Charlie in the pool  more.

                                      My brother Dave with Brody and Charlie.  Then Gigi and Pete and Rube.

                                                             Peter's giving Brody The Nudge to 'help' him down the slide.

                                                                                    Pete and Rube giving a demo.

                                                                    Charlie preferred throwing the ball for Sidney.
                                                                       Sidney's head is poking in on the left there.

                                                                                     And playing with the tractor.

                                                                                                Pool break for Gigi and Reuben

                                                                                                   Back in.
                                                                     I have been amazed at Reuben's fearless swimming.

                                                       Charlie started pulling on his clothes as his sign he was ready to swim.
                                                                                    He was cool with Uncle Dave, of course.

                                                                                    My Mom and Dad

                                                                                                Hermans having dinner.

                                                                                And a final wrestling match.
                                                                   Siblings Gigi and Brody with friend Simon.

Today, you ask?
A trip to Target to see about a glasses repair.  Math facts for Peter and digraph 'sh' for Reuben.  A trip to the pool perhaps.  And maybe some bike time if the day is slow in reaching 99 degrees.
