Swike or Bim?

We have been enjoying the cooler weather by playing outside quite a bit now. Carl set up cones and the kids have been having fun being timed on the obstacle course. He has been teaching little carl how to throw a football and catch it correctly. Little Carl has been working on learning to ride a bike although we don't have much room for him to practice. Carl had the idea that the tile around the pool gave a nice track for him to practice on. All was going well until he tried to get arround the hose that Carl was working with, one of the training wheels went over the pool and that was it, he went right in the deep end bike and all. He swam right up and we had a good laugh over it (once he was dried and warm) and decided we could make it a new sport, but what to call it? Swike or Bim? After we figured we better get the bike out. Carl decided he would make the sacrifice and got into his suit and stood by the cold (really, really cold) pool. I thought he ought to be spared that so I used the pool net to bring up the bike. We later thought we should have taken a picture for rememberance but little Carl was not amiable to the idea of recreating the situation. He did say that he now knows he will be able to handle the cold water for his baptism.

We are in Bahrain (for the last year and a half). Carl works at the Navy Base here. We did have some pictures but I was just getting used to how to do it and did not like the way it was on the page. We will be putting some up soon.
