Science and swimming...

Today was a swimming day. My kids were thrilled that Emilie and her kids were back from vacation and came swimming with us! The best part of the day was when Jacob and Karaia learned about the concept of displacement or why things weigh less in water. They experimented by carrying us moms around the pool on their backs. Jake was giving Emilie a ride and exclaimed, "Wow! You are really light!" Emilie laughed and said, "Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment." Jake, very seriously, replied, "Yes. That wasn't even sarcasm..."
