Swimming Anyone?

The boy is CRAZY! A week ago, Camden came to us and said, "I want to go swimming." I replied, "Camden, it is way too cold. You won't like it." "But, Mommy I want to SO bad." He said. After several arguments back and forth I told him to go talk to his dad. Anson had the same conversation/arguments back and forth and then said, "Come help me clean out the leaves from the pool first so you can see how cold it is."

The daytime temperatures have been around the 40's and night time upper 30's. The water was freezing. It hurts your arm to just pull the leaves from the the skimmer, but it didn't seem to bother Camden and told Anson he still wanted to swim. Anson sent Camden back into the house to ask me. "Mommy, can I please go swimming?" He said jumping up and and down. I finally caved and said, "Whatever Camden, it's going to be freezing cold."

He ran off and put on his swimming suit and outside with his dad. I miss grabbing a shot of him in the pool, caught a shot after though. He took the first step into the pool and told his dad that it wasn't cold. Took the second step into his waist and said it wasn't cold either. Anson asked if he was going to get all the way in and Camden replied, "No, I don't want to get my tummy wet today, just my legs." He wouldn't admit that the water was cold but was sure to tell all of us his tummy didn't want to be wet today.

Crazy boy!
