Wednesday.  We relaxed in the hot tub for the first time in months.  And I use the word relaxed rather loosely.  I'm not sure if it is relaxing to be constantly splashed in the face and jumped on, but the water was hot.  And that certainly felt good.  It was also so cold outside that the steam floating up off the water was incredibly dense.

Before we went out, the kids wondered if Lance would remember that he likes to go under the water and swim.  Greg said that Lance might be a little more cautious than in the summer.  Well, about two minutes after entering the hot tub, Lance remembered.  And all he wanted to do was jump from my arms into the middle of the hot tub and try to swim across.  He specifically wanted to go under the water, jumping head first and trying to duck his head down.  It was a wild, splashy experience.

I carried Lance back inside once we were properly soaked, and he said, "That was fun!"  If for no other reason than that, I'm so glad we went out.  And another good thing came of it.  I learned that my swimsuit is pretty worn out and saggy.  Time to order a new one before Hawaii in March!!

Me and my little swimmer!
