Georgia Pond

My in laws have a pond back in the woods on their property. Recently, they drained it and are letting it fill back up before restocking it. The recent rains have left a good-size puddle on one end, but the rest is just a pit of dried mud. I let the kids walk down into the pond to walk on the mud today. They loved it and were running and jumping and just being kids. However, soon their just being kids had them swimming in that good-size puddle. I heard some splashing and looked down to see them backstroking through the water. Yes, it's cold here. They were freezing. But, they had the time of their lives. I've just got to get their clothes and shoes washed and dried before their mother gets home. Shhhhhh!
