To Swim or Not to Swim

Hmmm....that is the question.

We arrived at our vacation destination with the forecasters' promises of less heat than at home...sunny skies...and cool breezes.

Okay. Okay. We know it's August and that isn't necessarily a reality. (But it did sound nice.) Heat and strong sunshine are.

So do we slather up with suntan lotion, or just stay inside?

Well, yesterday we opted for the latter. The "real feel" heat index was 110 F.

Hmmm...not rocket science, right?

Better temps today, we hope?

But we did make a discovery about our "late bloomer" this week: He loves the ocean afterall.

After dragging him kicking and screaming -- literally -- into the water at the end of our vacation last year, he started out this year by going in as soon as we took our first morning walk together.

The answer? Turns out he wasn't keen on "swimming with the fishes"...or their poop.

When we explained the God-made filtration system in the ocean, all was swimmingly well with the world...and our boy.

LOLOL! Just do not tell him about the jellyfish in the Atlantic or he will never swim again, LOL!

Maybe next year you will have to ditch the family (wink wink) and you four will have to hang out at the beach with another homeschooling family you know, that can also go off-season!

Come home soon!!!!!!!!

Oh, you know it! We don't dare tell him what "lurks" beneath the waters...though he reads a lot of books about sea creatures...esp. sharks. LOL!

Not long now!
