Swimming Party

Tonight, some friends invited us over for a bbq/swimming party. It was a lot of fun to spend some time together and go swimming in their pool. The food that everyone brought was excellent, and we all had a great time. We spent quite a bit of time hanging out, laughing, and having fun. The kids even got to play with their "Shaggy Dog." They thought he was the best, especially since they just saw the old version of "The Shaggy Dog" for the first time recently. We played a few games of "red light, green light" and the kids loved it when I pretended to be a shark, swimming under them to grab their feet. I taught McQueen in true perfection what a cannonball is. Everyone asked me to stop after my first one shot all the water out of the pool. It appears they have outlawed whales in their pool, and forgot to tell me before I jumped in.

In the video above, you can see McQueen demonstrating his very first cannonball. Not bad for his first time. Some of his subsequent cannonballs could only be described as............well...............belly-flops. I love that he is so light, that he barely even gets his hair wet when he jumps in.
