Shayla wants to cool off. I am already cool enough and don't really like getting wet that often. She is equipped with a strapped-on float vest and goggles. She jumps in, paddles around, then gets back out and does it again all the while uttering cries of delight and joy. Me? I stand on the side, swim suit on, and ready to jump in at the slightest need. I prefer to stay dry, but...even a cactus gets wet every once in a while.
What can I say? It's another great Texas Spring day with my incredibly persuasive and active five year old Princess of a daughter.

Now we're ready for the pavement with elbow and knee pads. Yes, definitely a good addition for my little 5 year old risk-taker. A scooter rider without elbow and knee pads is just asking for some stitches from the E.R..

Wow! What a lucky guy am I!!

This is precious. Riding this is really teaching her about balance in a big way. This is a first in going without training wheels.
