Crazy Porters

Last weekend Christine's (my sister) kids come down for a quick visit. You could tell they weren't Arizonans because they wanted to swim in our pool. Everyone in Arizona knows that even though the sun may shine, unless you have a heated pool you don't get in it after Labor Day. Most valley residents won't put a toe in a pool if the water temperature is under 80 degrees, me included. We are cold blooded creatures!

At any rate I tried to deter my nephews from entering the pool, and they told me they would wait until the day heated up. As I was folding clothes at 9:30 am (in preparation for our trip to Ohio) I heard splashes in the pool and went to investigate. I found Ross trying to not get wet on the pool mat (he did manage to keep his head from getting wet).
And I found Shawn shivering on the side, he had gone under twice and has 0% body fat

to help keep him warm. They continued to 'play' in the pool for a few minutes, but I guess even New Mexicans like their pool water a bit warmer!
