The first day the kids could not wait to go swimming! Even though it was only like 75*, they were so beyond excited and jumped right in. I wasn't sure how Addy would do because she hadn't been in a big pool since last summer and that hadn't gone very well. She would never let go of me and was pretty terrified. However, this year was a totally different story. She was so excited to get in the water that she put her little puddle jumper on before her swim suit. The kids had a blast swimming and Addy was a bit of a maniac jumping and kicking and swimming, which made me so happy to see her doing so much better. Finn wasn't sure what to think of it all, but overall we think he had a good time.
That evening, Grandma and Grandpa baby-sat and we headed to Oakland to have dinner with my host sister Louisa and her boyfriend, Aash. We had a wonderful time chatting the evening away over amazing pizza at Zachary's. And Louisa even tried (and hated) root beer for the first time. :) I love having her so much closer to us now!
The next day we headed to Six Flags. The kids had a BLAST and so did we. It was nice having additional adults so Wes and I could sneak in a few rides. We loved the Cirque dolphin show! Finn especially loved clapping to the music and was smiles the whole time. It was a long day for the kids, but it was well worth it. We had a blast.
