Playing in the Fire Pond

Since the area out here is rural, it is necessary for the neighborhoods to build a fire pond that can be drained in the case of fire.  Many neighborhoods have ponds that are non-maintained, covered in cat-tails, and, well, an eye-sore.  This fire pond is located in my parents front yard and is cared for with love.  It is beautiful, clean, and a great playground.  Yesterday, Benjamin & I floated in mesh-bottom tubes.  He enjoyed climbing back and forth from mine to his and even letting go in the water & swimming a bit...supported by his life jacket.  What these pictures don't show you is that he wanted to go in the pond naked.  So, aside from his life jacket & and wide-brimmed hat, he is wearing nothing. With the closest neighbor being 1/2 mile away...anything goes.
