Shooting Stars and Swimming Lessons

On Tuesday we went out to Lynn and Chad Buehring's house so we could watch the Perseid Meteor Shower (and stay up past our bedtimes!). Karl always has a good time with his girlfriends, Katelyn and Shelby.

We finally got some hot weather, so instead of Penelope basking in the sun, she's been seeking out shade whenever she goes outside.

Today was Laura's and Karl's last day of swimming lessons for the summer. They both made great progress! Laura found out it's pretty easy to go underwater, and may become a little fish yet! And at the rate Karl's burning through the levels, he'll be a lifeguard by age 10! (Not really; he'll have to wait until he's 16.)
