Running on the dock, and no floaties!? Naughty girl.

I think I'm old enough ;3

(I'm actually unsure what age kids stop wearing floaties. Minette is about 5 though?)

Well, I turned 44 this summer, and still wear floaties.

Four or five sounds about right. That's about when my brother's kids stopped, and really started to learn how to swim. Like formal lessons and all.

Awww adorable

Aw, now this is just precious! I love how happy and eager Minette is for the swim, and I can't really blame poor Marina for being nervous. I was terrified of the water at her age. It's so deep! But I'm sure she'll love it once she works up the courage to take the plunge. I love the random debris sticking out of her tail, and the water does look really cool and inviting, fish or no fish. (Which do look really good, too!) All that, and they're both such adorable little things! Fantastic work on this!

Aaah they're so precious! <3 <3

Precious!

Also, is someone using her tail as storing space? ^^

So taking a brush to that tail...
