Friday Night Fun At The Pool

A few weeks ago my friend Alice was taking care of Amelia whilst Matthew and I went to the pictures. Alice took Amelia to the local swimming pool and whilst her son, Ryan, had swimming lessons, she and Amelia splashed around in the toddler pool. Amelia had such a wonderful time that we have been back every Friday night for the past two weeks. It's great, I leave work a half hour earlier and pick her up, and head for the pool. We play for about an hour or so. The pool has toys and rings to play with and Amelia loves swimming around on her tummy. It's also very cheap, at $1.50 a time, it's a tradition I could get used to. I'm thinking it's time to start swimming lessons again, this water baby would really enjoy it!

I bought this cute little swimming costume for her last week, and although it is covered in cherries, Amelia calls them apples.


She loves the rings.





" Look at me mum, I'm swimming on my tummy!"


"I can do the backstroke too!"


Extreme close up as she concentrates on pouring water into a cup.

What a happy girl.

A great way to start the weekend!

What FUN!! Love the cute swimsuit. She sure loves the water - I bet it is hard to get her out. Maybe she'll be on the swim team some day.

Oh my goodness, that first picture is the cutest ever! She really is adorable and no, she couldn't get any cuter. I don't know who takes most of the pictures on this blog, but there are so many nice ones. Good job to whoever is behind the camera.
