August Afternoon

What better way to spend an August afternoon. This is Thursday, August 17, Grandpa Fritz's birthday! (He had to go to work, but joined us on the beach for a little while.) Brooke, Molly and Paige loved every wet and sandy moment on the beach, from jumping in the swells to digging a hole to China. Paige wanted to wear the "floatie" bathing suit and told me, "I don't mind a small wedgie. Just a big wedgie I don't like." The suit was just a tad too small, but apparently the small wedgie didn't bother her.
When I tried to go in the water, I went through all the panting and contortions older people do when the cold water creeps higher and higher on the body. The girls watched me curiously, having no problem at all with getting used to the 65 degree water. Paige squinted up at me and informed me, "My daddy said people who are fat don't feel the cold water." I have to admit that laughing did warm me up some! We had a wonderful time, and yes, I finally did go in the water. Posted by Picasa

I can tell you.....fat people DO feel the cold water!!....and why did Ray bring that up in the first place?....I think he has one of those latent "hate mom" complexes like the ones that shrinks talk about.

LOL! He may have been talking about himself...he always tells the girls he has a fat belly! I guess what we learn from today's blogging is that fat people feel cold water....until they pee.
