Lucy is impervious to cold.

Because this is Seattle, we take our children to the beach when it is 60-degrees and let them swim in 50-degree water and just basically try to ignore the blue lips and shivering because, hey, it's "summer!" A couple of weeks ago Brian and I took Lucy to the beach on just such a day. Although her lips did, in fact, turn blue, and there was shivering aplenty, Lucy didn't let it bother her and spent quite a bit of time standing in the water throwing rocks with Daddy. I just love these pictures. Brian is such a fan of the ocean, and it's apparent that Lucy has inherited the gene...it's possible her real mother is a polar bear though.
