We have gone to the lake two more times in the past week or so. The first time we met my friend Shannon and her kids Brynn and Cody (with his cute girlfriend Taylor). They were there with Shan's friend Laura (Wright) Nelson and her kids. As we were walking down to the shore we could see Shan all of a sudden running out further in the water but we didn't know why until we got down there and she came out of the water breathless. Laura's little girl had been sitting on a floaty and the wind caught her taking her out into the lake at a fast pace. When Shan realized what was going on she started out after her at which point the the girl tried to get off the front of the floaty to come back to her. The only problem was the water was above her head and she was unable to swim. Shan was able to close the gap fast enough to scoop her up out of the water and save her from drowning. The water was so murky and the wind was blowing so hard that she never would have gotten to her fast enough had she not followed the prompting to look up and see that she was drifting away and already started toward her thus seeing exactly where she went under at and being close enough to get to her before she was lost. We were all so thankful that all ended well. We spent some time playing and visiting and I explained to buddy that Cody had a hard time focusing and holding still just like he does. Brandt replied, "yeah, I know, mom. Scooby already told me about him." The next time we went was with Quinn and Mal and their kids. We even talked Bryce into going, although he never left the bench to venture into the water. We love having them living close enough to go with us on a whim so we can have some good cousin time.
