Swimming on Sunday

Today was one of those perfect days, that although very full, was also just blissfully perfect.  Our plans for the day included gardening, a birthday party at the park, swimming with our neighbors, and a movie in the theater.  Although it seemed daunting, everything slowed down in the middle of the day when it was time to swim.  Christian went down for a nap, and Tes, Nick, and I all jumped in our neighbor's pool.  That's right, our neighbors have a pool.

I was a beautiful day, and the water was perfect.  Tessie splashed around with her friends, alternating swimming around on a pool noodle and shooting us with a water canon.  It felt wonderful to stretch out and swim.  We all repeatedly made the comment that we felt ridiculously spoiled, but not even a little guilty about it.

It was finally time to get out, and get ready to head to the movies.  As soon as Tes got out she started shivering, but she still had a huge smile on her face.  The only way the moment could have been more perfect is if Christian had been awake to swim with us.  Well there's always tomorrow.  What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
