Swimming in Dnipro

We took the boys swimming in the river this Tuesday. Andre as always was ready to run into the water before he changed his clothes, and I had to hold him back, until I did so, put the sunscreen on as well as floaties. Harper was hesitant at first, but he got braver, and at the ent he wasn't all too happy to leave the water.

Harper made up a game for himself, where he would throw the shovel into the water and then would go and get it. Gradually he got braver, and was throwing it further in. My parents' apartment building in the background and a close up:
