Come Thursday, Sam and I (and Inga too although she wouldn't admit it) needed a break from all the running around. We stayed at the house all day and just went swimming in the pool. Everyone else went fishing at Cape Hatteras in the morning (surf casting) and Kevin, Morgan, and James took an offshore fishing trip in the afternoon. Sam and I really did spend almost the whole day in the pool. Inga spent her waking hours in the pool with us. It was pretty much her dream come true to wake up from a nap, get in her swimsuit, and jump in the pool.
We got her a little floaty so we didn't have to hold her the whole time. She learned to propel herself around the pool and gather all the pool balls on the ring. By this point in the trip, she was practically swimming short distances by herself. Daddy also taught her to scooch off the edge of the pool into our arms. We had a great time playing in the pool. Now I just need to install one in my backyard.

She is such a cutie. It seems a little crazy to me that for you another trip is a way to rest from trips. We've been traveling nonstop this summer and all I want to do now is stay home!
