The next stop on our east coast trip was also the true destination: The Berkshires. What a cool spot. The home that we stayed at is technically in the town of Richmond, MA. It is nestled in the Berkshire mountains and the house recently had a new swimming pool and tennis courts added to the enormous back yard. It was the perfect spot to spend some time, enjoy each other and create some lasting memories. One very exciting development is that both Emery and Moriah both learned how to swim during a two-day period. Previously, they both required life-jackets to swim in a pool deeper than their waist. Here, they jumped off the diving board a few times with their life jackets on. But then a funny thing happened. Emery wanted to try it without the life jacket. She did - and swam just fine. Then, Moriah wanted to do it, too. Splash! All of a sudden, the two of them were swimming without floatation devices. That made the diving board a very popular spot! We all wanted our turn. I hadn't done a flip for a few years, but man is that fun! The place was awesome. But most importantly, spending time with family (cousins and grandparents who were there) was so great. It was a great environment to simply relax and not think too much about external cares.

Ask Melissa if she did our special "leap/jump" off the diving board! (:
