Swimming in the Mexico!

We're having great luck in the swimming department down here in the Mexico! Yesterday, Hen removed his life vest and would swim to me in the deep* end. He is most comfortable doing the dog paddle but can put his head underwater and use both his arms and legs to propel his body forward when he needs to. I also spent an hour or so picking up and throwing the kids into the pool. Today, we hit the nearby resort pool and did more of the same. We also spent time bobbing with the tides in the Sea of Cortez. The water in the sea might have been a touch warmer than that of the pool, which is crazy to this Northwesterner. As for creatures, we have seen caterpillars, butterflies, sea urchins, sea snails, gigantic moths, crabs, fish, hermit crabs, and the smallest starfish I have ever seen.
