A couple days ago we had the craziest hail storm I've ever seen. It was all over in 10 minutes, but it did a lot of damage. The pellets were marble sized, with some being almost an inch in diameter. I ran out to drive the car under the car port and it felt like being shot at from above.
Now our bushes look like plucked chickens, so many branches broken and the leaves all have holes. More berries on the ground than on the bushes, too. And Finn was heartbroken to find the roof of his playhouse damaged. Neil took it off and maybe we can think of a way to somehow put a new one on. Otherwise Veronica the cow, Piggy and Sheepy will be homeless from now on.
Then yesterday, the most beautiful weather for swim class. Lily had so much fun splashing around too! She went absolutely crazy on that fast slide, people were commenting on how fearless she is. Finn is enjoying swim class, half way through the course he knows in theory what he is supposed to do to stay afloat ("arrow hands and frog legs"), but he can't really do it yet. Yesterday he put his face under water though and picked a ring up off the floor of the pool; he was so proud. We'll have to keep practicing this summer so he will be a little swimmer soon!
