Brave New Laney

As you can see from the video below, Laney has grown somewhat more plucky as of late. Lenore has gotten her much more used to the idea of swimming over at Aunt Les' pool. Now she just needs to stop freaking out whenever a wave splashes in her face. I spent A LOT of time carrying her around in the very shallow part of the waves. When we first arrived at San Clemente they were just finishing with some biggish waves. Perhaps for this reason the bottom was a little messed up. There was a "ditch" about 20 feet out that went down at least a foot. But, when you are only three and a half feet tall, one foot makes a big difference. Plus, a lot of the kids don't like it because it gives the impression that the bottom could fall out at any minute.
