"Hahaha! Papa! Mama! Look!"
Calliope's merry laughter rang across the lake. The echoes harmonized with the chirping of the birds nearby and the gentle water lapping.
Relying on her adorable pink float ring secured around her waist, Calliope happily kicked the water. She excitedly waved one of her hands at her mama and papa. Her gleeful face was reflected in the lake.
"Don't go too far!" shouted Calix, followed by a helpless smile on his lips. He draped a towel on his shoulders. His body was wet from his previous swimming.
"Poppy just play here ah!"
Calliope yelled back. She continued kicking the water while moving around the particular spot of the lake. More giggles flowed out of her small mouth.
Leslie and Calix sat by the lake, soaking their feet in the clear water. They looked in the direction of where Calliope was swimming. The little one only played in the shallow part of the lake.
