Saturday

Today Matthew and Jason had a big day with Vlad and Benjamin. We started by swimming at the pool for a few hours. We jumped off the diving board and slid down the slide. Benjamin is swimming on his own very well now. He even does front flips off the diving board!
Next we headed to the Saluda River where we fished with cane poles. Vlad and Benjamin caught 4 catfish, 1 bass, and 10-15 bream. They insisted on saving the larger bream to cook and eat. We will have them with some soup for lunch tomorrow. After the fishing we picked and ate a few blueberries.
Next we finished off the night by taking the boys to the Greenville Pickens Speedway. We weren't sure at first how the boys would react to the loud cars but they loved it. Vlad and Benjamin both had a big time and insisted we stay and watch every race!
