Because it's been so nice here since, um, memorial day (seriously!) we have been spending a lot of time at the beach, as I have mentioned previously. Since it has been so nice, we have even been getting into the water at the lake. Surprisingly, due to this mild late spring weather, the water is even decent. And like I have also said before, we have been taking advantage of this to teach Bella to swim. Pictures tell the story best:
Daddy and Bella getting ready to hop in. Notice how she is burying her head...thinking maybe if she cuddles enough, she won't have to swim.
And off we go! Look at those ears! Maybe one day she'll grow into them, even though I kind of hope not. They are too cute.
HELP ME! HELP ME!! This picture absolutely cracks me up. She needed to be in deeper water to really be able to swim better.
And she's doing it. Quite a bit of splashes at first while she tries to figure it out and Tim is holding up her tummy to prevent sinking. The first time we ever tried to get her to swim she sunk like a log.
Look at that paw. She still hadn't quite figured out that the
doggie paddle is easier with the paws under water.
Figuring it out more here... she was trucking right along. Her little face is so cute and determined.
And here she REALLY had it going. Tim was calling her and she would swim to him. It was great.
Another picture that just makes me laugh. How's that for an exhausted puppy after swimming?
A day later we were at the beach but had no swim time because it was cooler and cloudier out but still felt nice to be outside. And yes, this beach that we go to DOES have sand so it is technically a beach but we like this little grass part.
Dozing in the sun.
And since we have a million pictures of the puppy, we figured we would get one of us. And it's a kissing picture at that! Actually there were a couple of non-kissing pictures but I recently have developed two deep wrinkles between my eyes (which is a different post entirely) and even though people keep telling me they don't exist, I now have pictures that prove it! That sounds totally vain but I will post more about that later.
