Swimmingly.........

It has finally gotten warm enough to go swimming, so we went to Cumberland to enjoy our brief summer. It seems everyone wanted to go swimming including Tuttie. Cameron enjoyed his first time swimming at Great Grandma and Grandpa Cifaldi's house. Considering the water was still fairly cool, we think he did very well. As far as Tuttie, that is a whole different story. We used to take her to the lake to swim B.C. ( before Cameron ), but now it's too much of a hassle keeping tabs on her as well as watching a baby. So, to spite us, she decided to do a little goose hunting in the lake behind Grandma & Grandpa Rydberg's house. The picture doesn't do justice to how much filth was on her. I was attempting to light the grill when I heard a huge splash and frantic honking. I ran down to the lake, yelling for Tuttie, but didn't see any sign of her. The geese were casually swimming toward the middle of the lake by this time and I thought she may have gotten tangled in some weeds and drowned. After what seemed like 5 minutes, but was probably more like one minute, I heard some rustling in the cat tails. She seemed a little confused and was no worse for wear despite being filthy. Needless to say, the geese never came back. Thank God!
