Well, while most of you are freezing in the cold of winter still, we Arizonians are LOVING life. Yes, this is the most wonderful time of the year in good old AZ. It's in the 70's, the sun is shining, and the nights are cool. Ahh, if only it could stay this way forever! While Melissa (aka: Tia Lou) is visiting, we decided to give swimming a go. It was the PERFECT day, so we blew up the turtle, coated the Bubster in sunscreen, and headed out for what we were sure would be an amazing adventure.
How would Mikey take to being in the water? That was the number one question on our minds. He LOVES his baths, but that's nice, warm, water. Would he absolutely go nuts when his little toes touched the not so warm water? Well, let me tell you, the answer to all of these questions was not what we would expected. Not only did Mikey not scream (at all)... he fell asleep. In the water. In his turtle inner tube! When he first got into the water, he seemed absolutely indifferent. He wasn't screaming, but he wasn't excited either. He just kind of sat there. Then as time went on, his eyes started to droop, and he was out like a light! WHAT?? Who is this kid, honestly! Then, we took him out of the pool and wrapped him in his towel and he continued to sleep for another half hour! Melissa and I were able to get some sun, and not worry about the Bubster. We kept checking his temperature to make sure that he wasn't getting overheated, but he stayed as cool as a cucumber. Wow, what a day!

Getting ready to swim with Tia Lou!

First dip in the pool!

Me and my little man!
Starting to get sleepy....

Sleeping like a baby!
SO tired!
So exhausted after such a rough go in the pool...

Turning into a beautiful butterfly!
