We have some top favorite things to do in Grand Forks and we were able to get to most of them this time.
The kids all love "digger park" with the scooping toy to dig with.
Mom and Dad love the Mexican restaurant, La Capana. It is so delicious, it doesn't even matter to me that we are far, far from the Mexican border.
Amelia loves when great grandma Nona reads the special Mickey Mouse book to her. If Amelia had her way, poor grandma would read it over and over again.
I always like to walk or drive by "wobbly park" at least once to remember playing there when I was growing up.
Occasionally we stay in a hotel and have access to a pool. Everyone is a fan of waking up and jumping in the pool!
This time Gemma was a daredevil. She loved to jump in and discovered she loved jumping in backwards and head first. She jumped without holding my hand or checking to see if I was ready.
When those tricks got old, she starting taking off. I would out her on the side of the pool to jump in and she would sprint away from me towards the ladder into the deep end. It didn't matter if I was there or not, she was going to jump in. Luckily, grandpa and grandma ran interference on the side of the pool which kept her out of the pool before we were ready.
This is a good reminder about why I will not be going to the pool by myself with all 3 of the kids.
William really started to put things together with the swimming. All of a sudden, he can swim. He was thrilled to be able to show off to the family his new skills. He was even able to prove he was able to swim back and forth unassisted in the deeper end of the pool where he wasn't able to touch. Last week, that wasn't possible! Great job William!!!
