Rope Swing

While in Bear Lake we made a small hike to a really fun, cool rope swing. All of the boys were really excited and were climbing up the hill to it. Cael had to pee, so I took him up the hill behind some trees. Chet was holding Colby and just kind of watching everything (there were probably 30-40 people there.) When I came from behind the trees, I see Caden dropping off the swing into the lake. Complete panic filled me. Caden cannot swim. I just yelled, "He cannot swim!" The entire mountain looks at me and then back to the lake. Caden's little head pops up and with no fear showing on his face, he is just doggy paddling in place. I yelled again that he could not swim and then I hear a splash. My cousins husband had ripped off his shoes and shirt and jumped in after him. Caden just sits there in the water until LJ got to him and latches on and lets him bring him in. Chet was trying to get Colby to someone when LJ jumped in. I asked Caden what in the world he was thinking. He told me, "All my cousins were doing it. So I did it too!" He had no idea that what he did was wrong and scary. My Caden lives in his own world. I love him to pieces, even if he lives in Caden Land!
