What's Ethan Up To - The Chocolate Factory and Swimming Lessons




Ethan checked in to tell us about his summer. He took swimming lessons for two weeks this summer. He learned back swim, front swim, and swimming without a noodle. He really liked doing the back swim and free swim. He also took a delicious trip to the Lake Champlain Chocolate Factory with his grandmother and sister. He tried white, milk, and dark chocolate (he thought one kind of dark chocolate was really bitter!). He learned how chocolate is made from the cocoa bean and that the cocoa bean can be as long as 1 foot! His favorite part was tasting the chocolate. Sounds like he's been having some good times!

What's Mrs. Bianchi Up To - Soccer




My family has enjoyed a lot of soccer playing this summer. Paul, who is 16, plays on the Essex High School varsity team and a club team called Synergy.(He's the one in the front of the photo.) Francesca started her first soccer league this summer. My husband Eric and I really like going to soccer games.

What's Kaitlyn Up To - Maine, Biking, and Summer Fun!





Kaitlyn and her family recently got in touch with me to let me know what they have been up to. They took a fun trip to Maine this summer. While they were there, they went on Kaitlyn's grandpa's sailboat and they had a delicious lobster dinner(pictured here). Kaitlyn, her sister, and her parents also went camping with friends. They went hiking and to the beach. Kaitlyn has also been doing some biking this summer as you can see from the picture.
