Kauri aka Frogger

It is the end of swim team practice.

The coaches are starting to take down the lane lines after they had all the kids get out of the pool.

Kauri's shoes are on the other side of the pool.

I told her to get out and go get her shoes.

Of course, when I said to get out to get her shoes, all she wants to do is swim over to get her shoes.

So, she swims to the lane line, grabs it, then ducks under it, then swims to the next lane line "frogger-style."

Then, the next lane line.

Then, the next lane line.

She can swim far enough to skip the next lane line and swim all the way to the edge, but when she stopped at the second to the last lane, she observed that the coaches had the lane line unhooked and were dragging it out of the pool.

Thus,

taking away her "log on the river" to grab ahold of.

so, instead of risking drowning, she reversed her actions.

Ducking under the lane lines and swimming to the previous lane lines just as the coaches unhook the lines she just had ahold of which makes them not sturdy anymore.

It was more of a frantic, kick-and-swim-for-self-preservation swim this time.

Until she got back to the side of the pool where she started.

I am a Frogger fan, and it was just so funny to picture frogger in my mind

jumping from log to log

trying to stay away from the sinking logs

as I watched Kauri acting it out!!!!!
