I just started an afterschool swimming program. Every other day, we do the dog paddle for at least a half an hour. I don't mind it much, except I wish we'd do it in a pool, not a swamp. Though I guess the vicious mud daubers are good motivation to swim fast! I've already lost 5 candygrams! Not sure how much that is in whatever weight unit you guys use.

Yesterday we went exploring in the scary old factory over by Old Man McKnight's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for trespassing, but we managed to grab a neat glass compass before we left.
