Lesson Learned

On Sunday, August 12^th we headed to Lake Chesden for a day of fun with the Lambert Family.  The girls have only been on a boat once, almost exactly a year ago.  The pictures speak for themselves, they loved it!  Having only swam in pools, I wasn’t sure they’d take to the lake, but they had no issues.  Sissy was jumping off the boat in a matter of minutes!

The only hiccup came when Daddy slipped off the ladder and fell in the water.  Girls, in case you haven’t realized, your dad isn’t the most confident of swimmers.  He’s fine in a pool, but doesn’t enjoy water over his head or going under . . .this is a far cry from your water loving, swim team mama.  Anyway, upon falling, his hand clamped on my shoulder and under we both went.  Bad deal that I was holding Caroline, but she had on her puddle jumper and I released her as I went down.  I then had to shake myself free Daddy’s grip.  We both came up sputtering, claw marks on my shoulder and mad as can be.  Poor guy was just scared, although he’d never admit it. 

So girls you both need to learn to swim and swim well, it’s an important lesson that will serve you throughout your lives!!!!
