Hello friends and family,
Just a quick note from the Ross house. We're staying quite busy and having a lot of fun. The last few weeks have included swim lessons, gymnastics and kuk sool. It's been quite busy.
The swim lessons were fantastic. All three kids did a great job ... the last day we (Chuck and I) got to get in the pool and swim with the kids. It was a lot of fun to see what they learned (even though we'd been to every class) and experience it with them. Gavin was moved up a class after the first week. We got to watch him finish the lessons with a pretty good freestyle stroke. Chloe will move up a class next year and Zack will repeat the beginner class. They all progressed through the class very nicely. :)
Gavin loves his goggles! He used them every day in swim lessons. 
Zack wore his goggles only once ... for this picture. It makes me smile! 
Other things of notes:
* Zack was promoted to a white belt in Kuk Sool. Now he and Gavin take class together and that's been a lot of fun for both of them!
* Gavin was promoted to a yellow belt with a blue stripe. He broke a board with his foot at the promotion demonstration.
* Chloe has been doing a tremendous job with her gymnastics. She's now able to do a back bend and has been working hard on her handstand.
* Chuck has been riding his bike quite a bit this summer and will compete in Downieville in a couple weeks.
* Last weekend Chuck and I visited Yosemite. We did a six mile hike and an eight hour bike ride. What an amazing place! If you would like to see pictures check out the following link:
* I start summer school on Monday. Just found out today that my class will have 42 kids in it and will be half freshman and half sophomores. Gulp.
I will post more later, but just a note to say hello and happy summer!
Enjoy a great fourth of July!
Much love,
--M
