The zebra pool.

We have an inflatible zebra pool.

I have to blow it up every time the girls want to use it . . . yeah, there's a leak, but I'm cheap and don't feel like buying a new pool.  Besides, a few minutes of reinflating is worth the hours of fun the girls have.

Even if I do start to see black spots after a few minutes of blowing it up.

I really need to learn how to use Nate's air compressor.



 So there is synchronized swimming.

Then it's time to be funny with towels.

We recently acquired some new real estate - a log cabin.
Its square footage is a little small, but the girls still manage to vacation and entertain there.

They sometimes leave the cabin to kayak for a day trip.

Their hands are paddles. (Obviously . . .)

And then they dunk the front of their heads in to make their hair wet and pointy.
Silly girls.

While playing around the pool and cabin, Svea found an empty robin's egg - for a moment she was worried, but then we checked one of the bird nests under the deck and found - baby robins!  This shell fragment must have blown out of the nest.

Happy sychronized swimming!
