Watch Your Kids

Every summer the warning is sent out in our area to watch your kids around water. There are so many swimming pools and every year young children drown. I thought about that as this little guy was getting pretty close to the edge of our pool. The rest of the family had moved on, but this one lingered  behind.

There you go. Now he's going away from the water.

Here's the Daddy keeping watch on the fence. I've noticed that he is usually around not far from the family. 

There he goes walking along the fence.
Here they are on the lawn again.
The reason I was concerned about them getting too close to the water is because last year we found a baby quail floating in the pool. It was so sad.
If you didn't see my last post, you can scroll down to see more pictures of this sweet little family.

  4. HI!!!
    OH I love those!!!!
    so cute!!!!
    I hope he doesn't wander to close to the pool again!!!!
    I have to watch Miss C very closely around our pool, when it was cold out, I put her feet in it, and she hated it, so that kept her away all winter but now that it is getting warmer and she soon will be in it, then I have to get some more eyes the 2 in front, the 2 in back and I need some more!!!!
    hugs,
