Bridget learned how to knit this spring. (It is very hard work for me... I am asked to fix it every few stitches... and she forgets where to put the yarn or the needle about every six stitches... but she is happy.
She also has decided that she loves to kayak, and she likes to fish. She doesn't paddle yet, she is just along for the ride, but it is fun and exciting for her all the same.
The boys also spent some time in the kayaks on the Fourth of July, but I was so busy paddling (trying to keep up) that there is no photographic evidence. I suspect we will go again soon, and there will be photos next time.
In addition to kayaking, knitting and finishing Kindgergarten, Bridget also learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels this summer. Charles and Aaron were the most help- Aaron was patient and helped her start, and Charles taught her how to push off on her own. So far, she has bruised her legs and ankles, and got a bit of a strawberry from leaping off the bicycle mid-ride. I can only imagine what it is going to be like when she's riding on cement and pavement.
