The water barely even feels cool against my skin. I have to dive down about six feet before I feel any real relief from the heat. Coming up for air, I find myself face-to-face with The Princess, who is laughing her you-know-what off.
Apparently, it’s funny stuff when Momma dives over ya. Who’da thunk?
We giggle and splash by the swimming dock while Gumma and Umpa get the boat in the water. I’m trying to show The Princess how to propel herself forward by kicking, but – hard as she tries – she can only seem to go backwards. To me, this is entertaining as all get-out. A fierce look of determination as she angles herself toward me in the water is quickly replaced by utter confusion when she starts to go backwards.
As we’re both laughing about the fact that her little transmission seems to be stuck in reverse, Gumma comes around in the boat. They’ve successfully launched, and Umpa is going up to the resort compound to dump the trailer. He’ll be back to meet us in a few minutes.
It’s time for a boat ride.
Stay tuned for Part Eight.
