Some Nights she can really dance.

Elephant trainer- at Elephant Park Fargo

Claire passed her intensive swimming class recently and can now swim on her back much better and is starting the front crawl. She is signed up for regular swim classes in the spring (which Rob and I had to sign up last night at midnight to insure we got in)- she will be an Angelfish. So maybe that Dolphin Trainer she aspires to will work out.

Hanging out with the cousins

With Megan and Breanna on Thanksgiving weekend. They played lots of Zombies vs plants, learned to play checkers and Chinese checkers and danced to assorted songs on IPod.
