The mommy campers went on a field trip today: a pool playdate with Mrs. S, her daughter, and granddaughters! And goodness, did they have old-fashioned summer fun. Diving for rings and lost goggles, kickboard races, spinning on tubes, almost cannonballs, "Marco Polo" and other games like "Toothpaste" plus an out-of-water turn at "What time is it, Mr. Fox?" Plus a huge sandwich lunch (what is it about swimming and sun that doubles an appetite? No wonder they sprout in the summer!). All while the grown-ups watched and talked (and listened--if you haven't read this, "Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning," please do so--about half of the children who drown each year do so within 25 yards of an adult). It really was the perfect summer day. Even with the incredible heat.
Thanks, Mrs. S and co!
