skinny dipping

When raising kids it is always fun what they come up with. My three daughters and my two nieces decided they wanted to try skinny dipping.  We lived 10 miles out of town and the nearest neighbor that could see the swimming pool and deck was a good mile away.

They decided tonight was the night and they told everyone they couldn’t look and out the door they went. Our swimming pool was an above ground with just a small part of it underground. A wood deck ran around the top of the pool with a slide on it.

I looked out the window and here all five of them were going down the slide and getting out and running around and down the slide again just giggling and having a gay old time.

The problem, they had turned the big yard light on which was like a big search light directed right on them. Now keep in mind the neighbor is one mile away and it is dark but when you light the place up like daylight with a light it is worse then during the day.

When I went out and turned the light off and told them they were mortified, they had turned the light on because my one niece was scared because it was so dark.  They did not want to swim anymore and as far as I know they never did try skinny dipping again.

I also loved the fact that when we set up the pool my dad thinking he was being smart told the kids he had put some stuff in the water that would turn bright purple if they peed in the pool so to be sure and get out if you needed to use the bathroom.

Telling five little girls makes it a challenge and was not a good idea.  As soon as he left you could see everyone looking down at the water and then back up grinning. I know darn well they tried it out even though they swear they didn’t.
