The First Swim

Long time, no blogging. Today, though, the pictures are too much fun to put off posting them until I can do writing of substance. I hear you all breathing a sigh of relief that this might be a reasonable length-ed post. I'll have to come up with something extra long next time to pay you back for your sarcastic attitudes toward me. Anyway, today my friend Brea and her son Skeezix* called (well, technically, Brea did the calling) and suggested that L, E and I come over and go swimming in Skeezix's new pool. Given that it was ridiculously hot here for May, we were delighted. We were even more excited to arrive and find that the girls' other good friend, Julio Eduardo* had just arrived to swim as well. It was a great time for the girls to try out their new suits. L wasn't a huge fan of the water, preferring as she does that the bodies of water in which she chooses to soak be warm. E, however really liked the whole pool idea and spent a good portion of our time there climbing in and out and attempting to drink the water face first like a puppy. You would have guessed by the way she acted that we never provided her with anything to drink. They both also got a kick out of playing with some of Skeezix's fun toys that we don't have. All and all, it was a good first swimming experience for the girls.

*As per Christy's custom, names changed to protect the innocent.

They are rediculously adorable. I am fond of the flamingo swimsuits.
