Dear Screamers,

Whew, it seemed like the baby days when you cried as the means of communicating with you while we were in the YWCA pool Saturday.  The water was pretty warm (about 83 degrees) but the pool was too big of a "big bath."   Mommy was able to get both of you to come to/almost jumping from a sitting position to her in the pool.  Dada commented that you, William, have not held on so tight before or since.  We have seven more lessons!

At the Old Port Festival, you both loved kettle corn so we bought you microwave popcorn. We cannot keep it in the house!  

Trish invited us to Bridgton to spend the July 4th festivities with her family.  We watched the ducks swim down the stream, a 40-minute parade (the Portland parade is never this long) and had a special fire truck ride just for us! We learned the truck was purchased new by the Town in the 1930s and retired it in the 1990s.  
 
Mommy found a new park, Deering Oaks, to play with you both.  We played around the jungle gym, slides, play car, and swings.  Grace, you really enjoy swinging and your brother wants nothing to do with the swing set.  William, you managed to climb two rungs of the ladder (something Mommy had not previously seen) with no help!  Mommy does not recommend Deering Oaks since the play area is not gated and there are so many park options.

We are off to play!  

Love,

Dada and Mommy
