Afternoons Made in the Shade

It was unseasonably hot and dry in Florida during our early May visit. In the afternoons we would often go sit outside by the pool. There the house provided a shady area for us to enjoy the breeze coming off Lake Marion. Generally the water was still too cool for swimming, but just perfect for cooling our feet. On this particularly hot day we stripped off the boys clothes to allow them their first skinny dip. Both showed no fear of the water, and Trey really got into it by waving his arms and kicking his feet. These twins are blessed to have swimming pools at both sets of grandparent homes and will likely be swimming like fish before we know it.
