If I had a penny for every time the girls have jumped into a body of water this summer, I’d probably have enough pennies to put in a pool in our back yard. They are both water babies – swimming in any shape or form is a joy for them. Seriously, right now, I think the only clothes they have that fit them are bathing suits, one church dress, and Gracie has a pair of running shorts (more on that later, but she’s decided she wants to be in the Olympics in 2016 when she’s 12…smile…). This love of water probably isn’t a surprise to any of you, considering I have pictures of them at the beach swimming just about every month this year! We’re going paddle boarding and kayaking this morning; they are so excited they could barely sleep last night.
I guess this is probably the quintessential “when in Rome” situation. We live by the water, so many things in our community revolve around water…it seems silly not to enjoy them all. I’m glad my babies are soaking it all in!
