And what else did we actually do this week? We swam in our new 15' pool 3–4x per day, went bowling, watched fireworks, and, um, well, really not all that much, er, else. We're on learning vacation this month, just davening/parsha/chumash each day (well... most!). Lazy days this week, but hoping to be a bit more productive next week!
