Water babies...

Why is it that some women can spend an afternoon swimming in clorine water, or dirty lake water, or even in and out of the shower and come out looking like a million buckaroos...

No, silly...thats not me!  Its the most "family friendly" google image I could find of a woman getting out of the water...all the rest are itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis and boobs.  Yup...so instead you get the hair fling.

Anywho...I have not nor will I ever come out of the pool looking like anything other than a drowned rat.

Its true.  So, instead we took underwater photos...mostly because I love the bubbles from being underwater...

Bella is a SWIMMER!  She loves the water and with water wings on takes off across the pool and wants nothing to do with me helping her out.

She doesn't really go under the water yet so this was the best shot of her that I could get...her little doggy paddle legs going 100 miles per hour...

Eric is a little afraid of the water...it took a lot of coaxing to get him to stick his head under the water...but then he tried it over and over again...by the end of the month he stayed with us he was actually swimming!

Yours truly...well, lets just say its not a pretty sight, but I have to embrace the "drowned rat" persona and forget about the "hair flip" diva when it comes to swimming...and I like swimming way too much to not do it just because of the drowned rat persona...

And then there is John...who we took multiple video of too...but for today we'll just show a couple of the underwater photos...

Whoops...lets try that again...the bubbles masked his face completely...

Much better...

Rock on with your bad self, amore mio.

All this was compliments of the Hotel Merloni in El Grande Uniti, Italy. 

We can't WAIT to go back...
