And exactly why should one not swing in pink high heels?

 

"Got my toes in the water, ass in the sand

Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand.

Life is good today.  Life is good today."

 

The perfect, quick beach trip!  Andrew literally played in the waves 8 hours one day.  Margaret alternated between the water and befriending other girls to play with in the sand.  Matthew was content soaking it all in and going in the water when we wanted to cool down.  We did NOT expect to be sitting under our canopy for 20 minute stints for a few more years.  What a pleasant surprise!

 

How can that possibly be comfortable??

Margaret starts lax...and loves it, as she does most everything in life.

 

INDIGO GIRLS!!! 

JJ continues to invite Margaret to stand with him during swim meets (at least during the hours that she is there before bedtime) and it's amazing what she's absorbing.  She announced last week that she can do butterfly (which they do not instruct in 6-unders.).  Her demonstration is pretty darn good for a 4-yr-old.  Her arms looks great!
