Our Annual Week-Before-Labor-Day Beach Trip ended up being Two-Weeks-Before-Labor-Day this year. That's because we met up with Jake's youngest brother and his wife who were staying at a beach house with her family. We ended up getting to explore two places that had been on our bucket list -- Arch Cape and Hug Point. What a beautiful location! It was great spending the day at the beach and meeting our newest little nephew/cousin.
Loads of progress and great success at swim lessons this summer! For the first time ever all four Sorensen boys were participating - no one had to watch from the sidelines!
Caden
loved having lessons of his own
loved his teacher Andrew
made real, solid progress over the course of the month
looked adorable in his shark trunks
Lucas:
Our buzzing ball of energy turns into somewhat of a torpedo in the water
made very good progress on the fundamentals of swimming including arm strokes and side breathing
passed to the next level up!
Daniel:
was chill in the water, as only Daniel can be (see examples below)
saw very noticeable improvement on his crawl stroke from one session to the next
is awesome at underwater swimming
passed on up to the next level (twice over!)
Joshua:
does an impressive butterfly
made excellent progress on underwater swimming, treading water and diving
passed off the final level! GO JOSHUA! What an accomplishment - for both of us :)
The Hillsboro Pharmacy turned out to be the perfect place to go afterward and celebrate all the hard work, progress and success. For lunch...
