This weekend we had the opportunity to go down to DC and enjoy the festive and exciting training for the Dragon Boat Race exercise/activity. Even our whole family came along for the fun.  

The boys and mama stayed close to shore and enjoyed the nice scenery and weather.  
Da was out ride with the youth ...

   

And who said Clayton is not fat? Look at his chubby cheeks squished by the floating device.  

Drinking water is not easy...
   
..but nothing's impossible if you really want it bad.












 

 And to end the night with a beautiful sunset sitting on the water..what more can you ask for?

Thanks to our friend, Hope, she told us about this wonderful place that has lots and lots of wild sunflowers to gaze and be awed. It is just beautiful. Here's the link if you want to go, but I think next year is better because the flowers have already bloomed.

This past weekend it was so hot that we had to take the boys to an outdoor place. Our friends invited us to join them at the Splash playground. It really nice for the boys to run around and get wet. As you can see, Clayton and Brennan has no fears of the water. It was lots of fun!








We were really glad that our friends had water toys and buckets for the boys to be entertained. For some reason, Clayton is really into turtles right now.










No fear at all.

It has come to and end for the summer indoor swimming. Here are some progress for the boys.
 
Clayton has learned to kick on his back and on his belly. While Da has learned to gain more weight. (Just don't at him so much and you won't notice too much)

 

 
Clayton has learned on the count of three, he can hold his breath and so Da can dunk him under water. He has also learned to hold his breath long enough to put his head under water to reach for objects.

 
In the beginning Clayton refused to use a bar-bell but once he learned how useful it can to help him manuever around the pool, he has started to paddle really fast too with the bell.

 
(Looks like a child abduction)

 
Had to get that out ..

 

 
Well Brennan has progressed fairly well. He's learned to swim all by himself with the dumb bells swimming on his stomach and back. He also learned to jump into the water and start hand strokes with feet kick and swim under water for several feet at a time. This will be the last lesson that Da will get to swim him because the succeeding lessons will be taught by teachers only. Da enjoyed all the lessons with Brennan and will surely miss swimming with him.
