Adam 8 yr appt and visit to North Bridge

Adam saw his pediatrician for a well visit, all is well. He is 52.5 inches and 58 pounds. From there we headed down to Lexington MA to the Minute Man National Park. It's a long stretch of a park documenting the battle rd of April 19, 1775, the night after Paul Reveres ride. We stopped at three major sites, the visitor center had a great reenactment, a muscat firing demo and last was the famous North Bridge. The kids loved it! We decided next year to bring bikes and ride the 5 mile park path. Caleb had tons of questions for the rangers like "the redcoats were on the red team but what color was our team?". And "are there still redcoats in the woods?".

Katie and Adam are official bike riders!

And Caleb is on the way! I got tough after a visit from the Macgilivreys and got some tips. We took the training wheels off and they were solo within about two hours and exactly one Popsicle as a bribe. Not bad! They are all do happy with themselves. We couldn't wait to show off to Dad the next morning.

Last day of swim class

All three did a six session class and did great. The boys are still a little hesitant to swim under much but Katie is on her way to strokes. The UNH outdoor pool passes have been well used this summer. I hope the rumor of closing this pool is false! We just came from the UNH mini carnival and and we'll probably eat at UNH then watch a free kids movie tonight. Katie says "mom, best day EV-AH!". (ever). :).
