We've had a fun, busy August, and have spent the last week or so trying to stay cool outdoors (although our new A/C helps a lot indoors!) Here are some pics of some of our recent adventures, starting with our trip last night to Lovejoy Fountain in PDX. I've never been there and so we had fun playing and splashing. We intended to go to the Keller Fountain, but it's closed because of a broken pump. Lovejoy is not as cool as Keller, but its still fun enough for a 4-year old and a 1-year old!
Amy was less interested in the fountain, and more interested in the pigeons...
Sam had swimming lessons the last two weeks, and has turned a huge corner...he's now diving for things at the bottom of the pool, holding his breath under water, and basically not very scared of getting his face wet and all that. BIG deal, especially for Dad. Oh, and of course we've been obsessed with the Olympics and watch them all the time (sports doesn't count as TV, remember), and Sam has decided he wants to do Olympic soccer and synchronized diving. Nice combo! Here he is practicing some diving on the couch...good form!
Taking baths is cool, especially with "dinosaur hair"...
Swimming lessons at Sellwood Pool...
Cooling off at Grant Park...
Practicing out of water! The next Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin? Perhaps...
Sam didn't quite pass Penguins yet, but he got a cool certificate and a gold medal nonetheless...and that's worth everything!
