Yesterday was a big day for the kids. After much crying and gnashing of teeth, both kids took giant leaps forward.

Xak got his “band” – passed a basic swimming test – and was then allowed (for the first time ever) on the water slide

And water slide is all he did for the rest of the day. He must have climbed that tower fifty times:

Meanwhile, Nova put on her goggles for the first time and discovered how easy it is to swim under water. A BIG DAY!!
