Hating Lifejackets

Daddy missed his baby girl. She was at camp for a whole week.
But today we all got to go pick her up and stay for awhile to enjoy swimming.
.

Hey, Sawyer, why are you sitting there all by yourself?
If you just put on a life jacket, you can go in the water.
Come on, you'll like wearing a life jacket.
You'll look cool.
.

See? Come on, it's not that bad.
.

Don't be afraid. Look at how much fun everyone is having.
.

See Greyson stuck on the shore in his kayak? Big sister will give him a big ol' shove with her foot. She's always up for that.
.

Swimming is fun and safe. Look over there, Lea's getting thrown in the water---
Wait, maybe we should look over here....
.

Ooooh! Look at the boys on the surfboard! What a fun idea.
.

There they go, watch Sawyer, watch....
.

Never mind them. Look! Over there.....
.

Paddle boats! Want to try a paddle boat?
.

Poor Sawyer, after all this convincing you look so apprehensive.
Do you think you might like it? Is it fun at all?
.

He likes it! Hey, Mikey!!
