Dear Daddy,

What a day we had!

This morning we had a visit from Connor.  He helped us finish our new puzzle.  Then we went to Nonny and Papa's to go swimming.  Clio would not like to report about her mood, but we can tell you this.  Pool success!  Mommy forgot the back floatie, so Clio discovered she can swim just fine without it--even in the deep end, even going off the diving board.  Amazing.  She can even swim across the pool with her face in the water.  As for Eleri, she has taken her daredevil ways to the big board, throwing herself into the water with glee.  (wearing a life jacket, of course.)

We got to swim with Joy and Frank before they left for the airport, and Molly, Mike, and Connor came by, too.  More puzzles, lots of popcorn, and one pair of raspberry chocolate ice cream bars made it a great day.

We got stuck in traffic on the bridge coming over the Mississippi, so we ran through McDonals drive through for Happy Meals.  Our prize was a car that had a man pop out of it.  They go realy fast, and the man comes out all the way, or hides in the car.

The treats didn't end there!  Since it is movie night, we got to watch some TV.  But we got home late, so we just watched some Diego.  It was the funniest episode ever.  There was a penguin who tried to slide on her back, but they have to slide on their bellies.  And also she was just a baby and so she tried to climb a rock but she kept on falling anf falling and falling and that was so funny.

We are going to bed now so we are rested for our drive to the cabin tomorrow.

We were so glad to get your note that you arrived and found your family.  What a long journey that was!  We couldn't believe how long it took.

More soon,

xxxxxxxxxxoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooooooooo

Clio, Eleri, and the mommers
