Roundup for the family that is spread out this weekend.
Swimming: We had out first family outing to the city pool today. Our pool charges .25 per person per 2 hour session and is maybe 4 blocks away. We went once last year & am determined to do better this year. The goal is every Friday. I was a bit […]
