Sophia Swims


























After an evening of Enchanted, popcorn and stories, the cousins had a sleepover (or at least a share the bedroom over, as some slept more than others ;-) Today they hung out, ordered McDonalds for lunch (where Sophia requested, "Can you tell them I'm a boy?" as she correctly resents the superior toys the fast food empire provides boys in their Happy Meals. Happy if you're a boy maybe!)

When afternoon storms threatened, they opted to watch Monsters, Inc. instead of going to the theater to see Space Chimps or choosing Clay's beloved Ratatouille :-) Finally, the skies cleared, and the kids hit the pool. Sophia showed us how she can swim underwater like a pro. With some coaxing, she also worked on swimming above water, by assuming the role of Purdy, the dalmation, while Maddie opted to be a golden retriever and Daniel a bull dog. Lots of dog paddling ensued. Check out the video below and photos above for all the action.

Thanks for posting the video, and for the dog paddling lessons.

They are so cute I just can't stand it! Sophia looks like a natural and I'm sure the dog paddling provided great entertainment for all. :)
Boy, do I miss summer days.... now it's just work, work, work.

Sophia was doing great. She made it halfway across the entire pool! We had loads of fun waving to each other underwater once I put some goggles on.
