Four Fishes and a Rock

I have a confession to make....
I can't swim.
True story. When I was little my family would say, "Yeah, Lauren can swim. Like a rock."

Sure, I can doggy paddle to get across a pool. But I'm not in the least even a poor swimmer. I can't kick and move my arms at the same time. I can't even go under water without plugging my nose.

Thank goodness these three got their Daddy's fish-like abilities!

Estefan is a true fish. He loves the water and says he would live in it if he could breathe.
So, Dustin taught him a really cool trick..
If you hold a bucket level and dunk yourself under water, the pressure of the water keeps the air trapped inside the bucket, allowing you to breathe!!


Estefan thought it was the coolest thing ever.. he said he was like Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in Pirates.


Next I think he'll want to try it with a canoe.


Mark isn't a fish quite yet, just a little minnow. But he has no fear! He jumps right in and plays and splashes and "drowns" as he calls it... he really just puts his face under the water!


Allie is a little more fearful of the water than her brothers. But she still loves it. Hopefully Dustin can teach her before my rock like swimming genes take over!!
