Friends visiting, Maya's swimming class, fire station tour...

Our dear Swedish friends Johan, Karolina and their two kids, Noa and Vera, stayed with us for ten days. We went to the beaches, Napa, and a fossil park. It was so nice to have them. The kids were in the swimming pool several times a day, a perfect way to cool off.

Luca has been coughing on the off for over a month. I took him to see the doctor last week. Luckily, it's just the cold.

We saw a rattle snake in the fossil park

What got their attention???

Here is the answer.

The second time pappa cut Luca's hair

The result. What do you think?

July 4th party at our house. Fireworks at the neighborhood went on until midnight. Quite a spectacular show.

Maya no longer wears the floater. She's really swimming!

Maya started her swimming class last Friday. She loves her teacher.

Maybe Luca will become a baseball player.
