Show & Tell: Mama’s Got a New Pair of Shoes
It has been incredibly and unseasonably hot around here. Today it hit 100 degrees, with another hot one predicted for tomorrow. I hate the gray and gloomy weather we endure most of the year, so I’m trying not to complain about the heat – but it’s not too comfy!
On Sunday, as it was still just heating up, Vintage Girl, Vintage Dad and I headed to the lake for a swim. My husband, thank goodness, is a fearless person, or so it seems, at least when it comes to physical challenges. He does a lot of things effortlessly that scare me to death, including jumping off a dock into cold, dark water – quickly followed by Vintage Girl!
But me? I tried and tried and couldn’t do it! And that is why I bought these super-cool, super-yellow water shoes. Now I can wade into the water like an old lady – an old lady with super-cool shoes, that is.
And those pink shoes? Those pink shoes that look like they’re almost the same size as mine? Those belong to Vintage Girl, age 7-3/4.
Don’t forget to head over to Mel’s place to see what the rest of the class is sharing.

Umm, yeah, I would do the same. No jumping into murky waters for me… but then again, I can’t swim, hee hee. So I would be wading in with you, lol. And I love bright shoe colors!

I *love* those shoes! I’m thinking I might need something similar so that I can keep up with my daughter (she’s only 1 1/2 but loves any water/pool she can find to wade into). And we’re sweating it out here too! Yikes.
