Jaymi got a haircut today. Not much cut off - just enough to get it healthier.
I let them wash her hair for a treat. They had to put in a blue shampoo to counteract the green that is showing up in her hair, from all the swimming she has been doing.
It's much shinier, smoother, and healthier looking now.
She really wants to grow it long.

Gardening

Jaymi's school is creating a garden and needed volunteers, so Jaymi and I went down to the school and helped out a bit...planting, trimming, watering...
It was nice to help and nice to get outside and garden.
It was fun!

Trolley Ride

The city of Victoria (as of last year) has bought two trolleys. It is a new project they are trying out...the trolleys are more environmentally friendly than cars (run on bio-diesel, I think), and are cheaper than the bus (by donation) to encourage people to stop using their cars so much.
The trolley comes pretty close to our house now, so we are going to try to take it more.
It's fun too! People are much more friendly for some reason, on the trolley, and it's kind of quaint.

Proud Girl

Jaymi has always been a total fish in water, and has basically taught herself to swim.
This summer she can swim underwater, above water, tread water, whatever...in deep water with no need for a tube or life jacket or anything. She loves to be in the water so much and is dying to join a synchronized swimming club.
At one of our local rec centres, there is a programme called Synchro for Fun, which is a n introduction to synchro for little kids like her. But, to qualify for it, you have to be able tread water for long enough, stay in the deep end and swim the whole length of the 25 meter pool. We didn't think she would be able to do it, but hoped.
So today was the test and ..... she did it!! She did awesome!
She was SO proud of herself!

Happy Canada Day!!
