Impromptu Swim in the Lake

I think I mentioned that there's a park just a mile from our house called Weaver Lake Park. It has an awesome playground and a great little beach that sits on the lake. This morning we went there to play on the playground, but once Teya saw the beach and the water she was desperate to get in. We were totally unprepared for swimming but she was insistent so we finally gave in. It started with just a dip in the water with her feet. Next thing we know she wants to take her pants off so she can get her legs wet. Then she wants to take off her shirt so she can really get wet. She even asked us to take off her diaper but we had to draw the line somewhere! She had a blast chasing a ball around in the water and splashing up and down the beach.

I knew that with her shirt off it wouldn't be long before she got all the way in.

Once she was used to the water she just crawled up and down the shore singing "Nademos, Nademos!" (Spanish for "let's swim", another line she learned from Dora and Diego) I'm glad we live so close to such a cool place and hopefully it will stay warm for a little longer so we can come again prepared to swim!
