Splash Wars

K-bao visited Aunt Carol, Uncle Will and Co. (J-Cuz, K-Cuz) recently in Redding, CA.

While Redding has its many charms, mild weather is not one of them, and K-bao battled 105 degree heat all weekend. Like a hot hippo, she sought out cool water in which to simmer down, and ended up spending 80% of her weekend in the pool.

Here she makes a grand entrance, courtesy of a live launch pad (a.k.a. Uncle Will):

"Cowabunga!"

In the water, K-bao amused herself by diving for rings, playing aquatic football, paddling around with her floaties, and splashing her cousin Justin (thereby setting off several rounds of Chan-Hu wars - which, for the record, the Hu's claim victory in). 

R&R

K-bao has been spending her summer with her friends the L's. The L sisters, DL and NL (along with little brother EL) share K-bao's love of swimming, princesses and all things Frozen (and yes, this includes little EL, who will tag along and be into whatever his sisters are into). 

What does this mean for K-bao? Tons of hanging out around the pool, an abundance of of outrageous princess costumes, and plenty of "Let it Go" sing-alongs. (By way of reference, K-bao was introduced to DL some 5 years ago, as profiled in this post.)

Wait - where's my hat, mommy? 

And what does all this mean for K-Pop and K-Mum? Why, "Christian fellowship" of course...also known as "Rest and Relaxation."

Afloat

K-bao managed to sneak down to Uncle Calvin's for a swim in the warm Sunnyvale sun a few days ago. After a few months of basic swim classes K-bao is now quite comfortable kicking around in the pool, as long as she has a floaty - or her daddy's neck - to hang on to.

Take a look at her first swim back in 2009.
