Bea Ching That should explain a few things:)Sent from my iPad

Stevie Oh boy...this looks just like your other daughter when she's laughing at her own jokes!

Vera Kudos!!

Vera Jody's timing is very good missing the 2 ft of snow in Abbotsford!!

Jody I definitely agree, auntie Carla! My mom always said, you HAVE to know how to swim - and as far back as I can remember I just always knew how because we'd been in lessons since we were young. Now, seeing someone who can't swim at all is like seeing someone who can't read... it just seems like it should be intuitive - but of course it isn't. It was honestly an incredible thing - no one at the hotel except the 3 of us has any concept how close those girls were to dying. Any slight change in circumstances and they most certainly would have - just a different turn, a few more minutes of delay for whatever reason. Just got lucky.

Susan Hi Again -I posted a comment but for some reason it didn't show up -the gist of it was -kudos to you all -they couldn't have been in better hands and kismet that you were there at the right time! What a way to bring in the Chinese New Year and Happy New Year -Year of the Rooster to you all -Blessings! -Susan

Carla Those girls are the same ages as my boys. A parent's worst nightmare is to lose a child, especially when it's so preventable.

Vera Wow, there's not enough words!! Stupid parents, lucky, lucky girls!! Incompetent hotel staff! We've all been in the right place right time situations but this one is incredible !!

Bea Ching Jody said they call drowning the quiet killer. These girls didn't flail or scream or indicate distress. As Jody said to us, there was barely even a ripple in the water as they both went under. They told us in swimming lessons that they usually go under 3 times. After the third time, they don't come back up. You have to learn how to swim. Skating or basketball, not so much.

Carla I shared this story with Carson, because I've been repeatedly explaining that swimming lessons are not optional (he's not a fan). The angels were looking out for these two girls, and obviously sent you there. Life changing for everyone involved...

Vera Yikes

Stevie Looks like a praying mantis!

Bea Ching Must be the camera...

Carla You appear to be.....brown??!

Vera Now that's the life!! Very nice. Good thing it's warm here or I would be soooo jealous!!
