Canal

Friday was a beautiful day, so after Anelise's afternoon nap, we decided to do a little sightseeing.  We went downtown and walked through White River Gardens.  It was a quick walk, as we arrived there 10 minutes before closing time.  After WRG, we walked the bridge over the White River, and then walked along the canal.  Jonathan had grabbed some bread crusts before leaving home, so when the boys saw some ducks, we stopped to feed them for a few minutes.  So picture this in your mind: the boys are throwing bread to the ducks, Jonathan is on the phone, Dad is holding Anelise, and I'm standing behind the (empty) stroller, when there was an exclamation and then a splash!  Caleb fell into the canal!  It's not particularly deep, but  he was completely submerged.  It all happened so fast.  Dad grabbed his foot (and scratched his camera a little on the concrete), Jonathan put the phone down and jumped in to get him out.  And me?  I just stood there watching it happen.  Yeah, epic fail.  Caleb was pretty upset at first, but is able to laugh at it now.  The rest of us were laughing as soon as Caleb was safely out of the canal.  Poor Jonathan had soaking wet jeans, socks and shoes.  Caleb had only been wearing shorts and crocs, so he really fared pretty well.  This is the stuff memories are made of.
