Arts and Construction

The boys did some painting today. Zachary managed to get more paint on himself than he did his projects. Here's a nice spot I missed during the initial clean up.
Alex worked on building this track most of the afternoon. It is all one continuous loop-de-loop and he even included some landscaping trees.
Over the weekend, we discovered that the boys are super climbers. There is a look-out tower along the Shoreline Trail that is about 9-10 feet tall. Zachary was at the top before Phil had a chance to start. Needless to say, Alex wasn't far behind. (Sorry, no pictures this time...next trip out.) We also conquered a climbing wall at the park.

Both boys started swimming lessons last week. It is still a bit touch and go, but by the end of his second session, Zachary was kicking and flapping his arms and "swam" 3/4 of a length of the pool. My camera batteries died, but they have been replaced and I'm ready for next week!
