Sophie had another swim meet today. I think it was her best meet ever. She swam so hard. In the free style she didn't even come in last, which is a first!

Swimming the backstroke 

This year was Chelmsford 350th birthday. They celebrated with a really big parade. We went with our friends the Sayers and the Lambours. Here are some long overdue pictures from the day. Starting with our two cuties ready to be patriotic! 

The kids all cheer for candy!!
