Naked Night at Villa Funky Fungus

Here's our Provence crew: two families with four girls, three moms...and Anthony. It's Anthony and his harem!


Naturally, what happens with a bunch of kids (especially since they're all one gender) in hot weather is that they strip down to nakedness. So much for all those bathing suits we brought. It turns out when the weather's nice, and you're among friends, clothing is largely optional. Besides Naked Swimming, the activities also include Naked Movie Watching, Naked Crafting, Naked Snacking, Naked Dining, Naked Sleeping, and let us not forget Half-naked Hiking (the concession to civilization outside the villa walls).

  
 

I have photos that perhaps show the high level of nakedness (or low level of clothing?) more clearly but, sadly, I cannot post them for fear of being accused of child pornography.

Naked Mornings and Afternoons naturally give way to Naked Nights, and I'm not talking about orgies. One night, the ladies decide it is simply no fair that the children and Anthony all get to hang around in the heat without constrictive bras and hot T-shirts. And so the only fair thing to do is to finish cooking and to dine together topless. Anthony seems completely unfazed. I later ask him, "Can you imagine if you could go back in time and tell your 20-year old self that someday you'd be eating with a bunch of topless women?! Your 20-year old self would be so excited. Then your 43-year old self would just shrug and say, 'Eh, they're just breasts.'"

Lest you think it's a nudist colony, we do ask Pippa to put her sunshirt back on when she starts to get a small rash that we attribute to sun. After so much flesh, it's shocking to see her covered -- and really covered.



But then one by one, the other girls start getting small rashes, too, and Sarah submits the official diagnosis of "Funky Pool Rash". Though Sarah is not a medical doctor, she apparently has a specialty in diagnosing gross body problems: lice, funky funghi, and I'm afraid to find out what else she knows about. It's true that the water is looking decidedly murkier than it was at the beginning of the week, so perhaps she's right. The filter may be broken, but not the girls' spirit. Fungus or no fungus, they keep swimming and smiling.

Thank you for letting the girls be naked! We need more parents who let kids be kids. I grew up knowing that I could be naked or in my underwear pretty much all the time. For me it was very innocent and very special! Save the pictures for the girls. They will love to see them some day. Innocent nakedness should never be viewed as sexual. your girls had a really awesome experience!

it is too bad you have to be worried about posting the other photos because of possible accusations or reports of child pornography.....these photos you have posted are great, but too bad you can't show others.....i love parents who aren't prudes and allow their kids to be carefree!

Love the pictures It can prove You can have a picture of a child naked and not be sexual. No wet swimsuits If the girls make a mess of themselves you can just hose them down if any of the girls need a bathroom break they can just dry off a little set on the toilet and go.1 pc swimsuits I learned growing up with 2 sisters thay can be a pain in the butt to get off to the bathroom.
