Note For The Granddaughters
This may have been your most "intense" summer yet. I believe the "weeks" below are pretty much in the correct order.
- First week: computer coding ("apps") at University of Texas - Dallas.
- Long weekend: scuba certification
- Second two weeks: sailing camp on Lake Grapevine; learned to sail without any instructors on board
- Fourth week: leadership camp for the older, Houston; FC Dallas soccer competition for the younger
- Fifth week: with out-of-town grandparents, visiting
- Sixth week: National Junior Olympics Water Polo, San Jose, CA, for the older; soccer tournament for the younger
- Seventh - eighth weeks: summer camp with multiple activities (see below); note water skiing for Arianna; they both downhill snow ski; note diving for Olivia -- she wants to get as good as her sister; also, she loves the diving board at their pool.
