Aug.-Sept. 2008: Swimming, Camping, and Soccer begins again!

The kids did GREAT at swimming this past summer, both advancing to Level 5 -- just one level short of Jr. Life Guard! (which they're not actually old enough to achieve yet.). They showed off their advancing swim skills a lot at G'ma and G'pa Androvich's house too, while Michelle celebrated her 20th High School reunion with old friends!

We also made a trip with our church family group to Big Basin, Santa Cruz, and had a great time among the gorgeous redwoods and a comp site between three huge Giant trees! Many trees in the area were burned hollow at the base by past fires, and made great play areas and hideouts! Banana slugs were abundant too!


Both kids started great second soccer seasons: Sarah on the purple "Wicked", and Matt on the blue and flamed "Blue Lightning!", both with most of their previous teammates, and same coaches as last year.

We said hello to fall and goodbye to summer with a wonderful long weekend trip to Yosemite at the end of September! Gorgeous views from Glacier point, and from the Valley, and lots of wildlife!
