Lake Accident

I vaguely remember the accident nor do I remember many details like how old I was - my sisters would probably know - but I'll never forget the feeling of being waterlogged in my nose/sinuses even later that night. I remember sitting in the buggy and being pushed by Molly who was apparently taking Brigham and I for a walk on the street off to the side of our house. There was a short steep hill off to one side that went directly into Lake Windsor. I also remember a car approaching and Brigham rushing to one side and Molly, trying I assume to rescue him, parking the stroller on the steep hill and me going into the lake. I also remember seeing my mom looking out the window from our house, watching what was happening because she had on her pink sweatsuit. I'm not really sure how I could have seen that from that far away though so maybe I am confused. After that, I don't know what happened except for that I've been told I was strapped in the buggy and went into the lake. I only know that I've never been a huge fan of water and can always remember that feeling of water in my head and imagine how much I must have panicked.
