Swimming 'class'

My sister treated me Wednesday, along with the boys, to an outing in San Marcos.  We stopped on the way at IHOP for lunch:

and after spending way too much money, we headed to the river for a dip...not the two of us, but the boys and Emily.  I called it, 'gym/swim class'.

If nothing else, they used up a lot of energy and slept well that nite.

Sidenote:  Isaac's gotten a day off once for his five 100's and Caleb is working on his fourth 100!  From now on, though, they have to save their day off until they both have one!  It was tortureous for both to not be together...live and learn, right?

It was a good week of education, especially the lessons learned about character with honesty, discipline being a 'way' of life, and mom learning to stay consistent in training, prayer and following through with correcting their mistakes and encouraging them to press through the hard work, boring words in the stories they're reading, etc.

  Isaac is reading 'Swiss Family Robinson'; 

Caleb is reading 'Boy Knight:  A tale of the Crusades' by G. A. Henty.
