Monday Mischief - Swimmin' with Da Fishes

Yesterday was a hot and steamy day so if the boys were going to get any exercise, it had to be swimming! We took them to a tiny beach on the Potomac River. We rode the jetski to get there and it was remote enough Jimmy could bark his fool head off without bothering anyone. Well, almost no one, as some fishermen were nearby and I am sure they could hear Jimmy's big mouth!

I brought along my little point and shoot camera and decided it would be fun to get a picture of me swimming with the boys. Here's where the mischief comes in....I grabbed their lifejacket handles and swam them away from shore, much further than where they go to fetch their floating toys. They were pretty darn positive I was going to drown them! You know, make them Swim with Da Fishes!

 Here's what it looked like on the way back in....




And there are even some video tidbits....











And of course the day ended with just a bit more mischief from me....Both boys got bathed when we got home. When you swim with da fishes, you don't smell so good later!

  1. Looks so fun and refreshing and as hot as its going to be this week I see lots of swimming happening! I never would have dreamed that Corgis would like the water as much as your guys do! The Corgis we had never dreamed of getting wet ... LOL!! Teach will get his feet/belly wet but that's about as far as he gets.

  4. Oh mama! You were trying to kill those boys, taking them out in the deeps! It does look like a nice, refreshing time, though, and I love seeing Jimmy dig. :) You know I want a corgi now ...

  6. Oh my goodness! I am so impresses with your swimming skills, boys! My little Yorkie went in a pool for the first time last week and I'd have to say he didn't love it. I'll keep trying though.

  9. It looks so refreshing - but Jimmy does kinda look like he thinks you were trying to kill him in those first coupla pics. He's got a bit of wide-eyed look!

    Rita doesn't like to swim - she will swim out to me, but that's it. Then she turns around and heads straight back to shore.
