Gold Star Day for Simon

To celebrate July 3rd, we went to the Wissahickon to do some hiking and let Simon wade in the water. However, to our surprise and delight, Simon started swimming! He has always been cautious of water that was above his head. But today he started fetching sticks that were in deeper water. Moreover, he was really enjoying diving into the water to grab sticks that were on the bottom of the stream. He cleared a lot of lumber; maybe, with some more practice, the beavers will hire him!


Here Simon is made to pose for a picture of our backyard. Look at that tomato plant -- one little seed has lead to a huge fruit-bearing plant. It's awesome.
