She'd just finished a game of water tag with the older kids. Now she was planted between the shallow and deep areas of the little lake, keeping an eye on older and younger charges.
Several youngers were vying for her attention. "Miss Carmen, watch me put my face under!"

Morgan sputtered, gasped a breath.
