On my South Carolina vacation we have spent many hours at Fort Jackson.  But when we're not there we're at the pool because my nephew is just like me.  Or the me I used to be when I was his age.  Here is a picture of his and his sister's splash as they jumped in. She likes to swim too.  But my nephew is the first one in and the last one out - just like me.  He spends more time underwater than above water - just like me. He turns somersaults in the water - just like me.   He bobs up and down in the water-just like me.  He never gets bored when he is swimming - just like me. He creates fantasy scenarios in the water and acts them out - just like me.  So even though I'm tired of this hard lawn chair and overheated, I let him swim as much as possible because he is just so gosh darn cute - just like me!
