Summer Swim
On a Saturday morning in July, Mike, Misha, and I headed to Powderhorn Park, a green bowl in the middle of the city, to meet some our favorite friends at the wading pool. Minneapolis may not have the lap pools of my youth, but, as a parent with a toddler, I have certainly discovered the value of the wading pool. I don't think that there are many experiences more pleasant than sitting shin deep water, talking with good friends as you watch your little ones splash and play games together. A light breeze fluttering through the trees and playing with our hair. Our children pretending to be fish and crocodiles. Learning to share. Learning to swim. Learning to linger.
