Swimming in April
So, we're exiting the High School after working out and playing basketball with the kids on Sunday, and with the wealth of rain we received over the weekend, there was a commensurate wealth of worms on the sidewalks and pavement. Tiffani offered a Big Mac to whomever chewed and swallowed a worm, to which there were no acceptors of the challenge.
Cue to our turn on to Belknap Street a few moments later, and the peripheral notice of the giant puddle that appears every spring behind the house on the corner (recall the rain mentioned in the previous paragraph). The weather was cool and gray, certainly not swimming conditions in the midwest, but a new challenge was proffered: submergence in the Belknap Lake would also merit a Big Mac. The results...
Big Macs all around. Sophia charged out of the van for the water, but Nick's chum, Ezra, was the first to actually log roll through. Warm showers, and then a hot lunch.

Chris, you're still crabby and trying to gain some equilibrium about that time in 1976, when we laughed at you for falling in the freezing water.
I thought the Accra Turners got their fill of burgers in Cairo.
I saw ducks in this water hole yesterday - have all the kids had their shots ?
