“Fun Day” @ Swim Class
Colin had a great time at Swim Class today at the Maplewood Community Pool. A big benefit of joining is the free swim lessons (just for Colin; Hannah can do them next year) that are building on his classes from the Summit YMCA. Anyway, check out the video of his first jump off a diving [...]

Tonight Matt’s wallet went missing briefly. It was discovered [...]
