Water Babies 2

Princess Butterfly's four-year-old cousin, Prince A, whose family also lives in Nevada, loves to visit along with his Sweet Momma L.  As is completely understandable during hot Nevada summers, one draw is the swimming pool.  Prince A is also wholly at home in the water.  Now that the Butterfly is much more self-confident, it's like seeing two frisky baby otters frolicking about in the water.
Of course, each has to challenge the other to more daring stunts, such as jumping into the pool from the higher of the levels.  Here goes Prince A ...
and now it's the Butterfly's turn.
Each one has a slightly different take-off.  Here is Prince A ...
and here is Princess Butterfly.
The jumping style is also unique to each.  Here is Princess Butterfly ...
but Prince A jumped a bit higher than Grandmom expected.  Sorry for cutting off the top of your head, Prince A!
After the jumping was over, the two Baby Otters were miraculously transformed into Baby Orcas.  Grandmom was The Shark who would rise from the depths to roars of delight from the Baby Orcas who were safe in their inner tubes.
Somehow, The Shark was never successful at catching either of the Baby Orcas.  They were much too skillful at eluding her.  And a boisterously good time was had by all.
