Yea, as long as you don't swim too soon after eating, huh? Or have they changed that rule now...I don't know. I remember the first time I took "L" swimming in the lake. He was just deathly afraid of the water because when he was younger his step father tried to teach him how to swim by throwing him over the side of a boat. No wonder he wouldn't go in the water right away, and when he did he hung onto me like a second skin. Not that I minded holding him that close with just a swim suit on, but I didn't like seeing him that frightened of the water. It took some time and a lot of coaxing, but after a while he let go. After a few times like that he was swimming like he was born in the water. Then all he ever wanted to do was go to the lake and go swimming.

Those were some great times for me and it sounds like you had a lot of fun like that too, bro. Thanks for the fond memories.

With Love,
Chris
