Water fun!

Prescott, Wisconsin (where my mom, David and Kel live) is right along the St. Croix river and they have a beach that you can swim in. Let me remind you that late May in Minneapolis is NOT that WARM! We took Mitchell to the beach thinking he'd enjoy playing in the sand and thought we'd DIP his toes into the water while we were there. We did not wear swimmsuits or bring towels.....little did we know our little water baby would demand to fully immerse himself in the water!

He would've kept walking deeper and deeper if I'd have let him! The cold water did not seem to bother him at all! He thought it was really fun to dip himself down into the water....

and then JUMP up and laugh!

We finally dragged him away from the beach, causing many tears and headed home! We sent Jacob to a local store to buy Mitchell a baby pool and improvised with buckets of warm water in the meantime!

He played and played until the luke warm water grew cold and Grandpa helped him towel off his chilly little body. He saw the buckets a few days later and promptly began asking if he could take a 'bath' in them!
