Ocean Dip



Dateline, Blue Hill, Maine, dwindling days of summer. As you can tell from these photos, Jack could not get enough of the crisp-brisk ocean water of Blue Hill Bay. Each time we dunked him, the look on his face suggested a parallel universe of pure, uninhibited joy, as he asked again and again to be "dipped." The adults also braved these invigorating depths, taking lovers' leaps and leaps of faith once or twice a day, but Jack was in the drink dozens of times without a moment's hesitation. Someone suggested toddlers have yet to develop cold water receptors, but we know this isn't the case based on Jack's less than enthusiastic response to Echo Lake last year (for the video evidence see Echo Lake Dip (aka "Baptism Fail")
