Down By the Meadow...

DateFriday, July 29, 2011 at 5:48PM

As previously mentioned, our niece, her husband and their two children, ages two and five, came from the UK to spend three weeks with us.  Both children arrived non-swimmers.  They didn't leave that way. Everyday I sang "Down by the meadow in an itty bitty pool" to them.  Neither the children nor their parents had ever heard the song.  It must be an American thing.
