Late Summer Dip in the Brook

My kids like water, a lot! I'm not a nervous mother when it comes to letting them get wet. I figure they will get out if it is too cold.

After one of our walks over Columbus weekend, the kids were hot and wanted to take a dip in the pool. I offered to take them to the brook.

The water was very cold, but four of the kiddos took the plunge, if only briefly. We have sort of family "rule", you have to go all the way under for it to count.

I think we have a litter of baby polar bears on our hands.

The intrepid dippers
