Dip in the pool...

Needless to say, it's not exactly pool season here in the states... especially when a cold front blows through. But apparently that didn't mean much to Nathan a few days ago as we were passing through Ft. Worth. We wrapped up our time in Brownwood after visiting our supporting congregation there (and what a blessing our time was!) and stopped through to see Nana, Papa and Auntie Em, do a few loads of laundry and pack up to hit the road to AR.

And here's how the story goes... Nathan was playing outside with his daddy and Papa and riding his most favorite tricycle on loan :) From what I can gather from eye witnesses... i.e. Papa and Gary... one of the wheels of the trike hit a wet patch right at the edge of the pool and the rest was history. All I know is I walked outside to a water logged son who we had to strip and get warm really fast :(

For those who know Nathan well you can attest to the fact that I do not have the world's most cuddly child, but that night I got some good cuddle time as I held him, wrapped in towels, blankets and whatever else we needed to warm him up as we watched his beloved Dora for about half an hour. All in all not as traumatic as it could have been. Nathan is a good little dog paddler and kept his head above water pretty good and daddy made a quick rescue, but look at my poor little winter swimmer...
