Summer, Cousins, Swimming

These 3 love getting together, especially if it involves a day of swimming. This summer both Alerick and Zeva have got rid of the water wings and are able to swim without them. Which means more fun for Kayla because she has got them diving and bombing with her. It's such a treat to see.

A Big Step....

Today we were invited to a friends' 40th Birthday. The theme was Countries Around the World. I was asked to take photo's at the party, - which for those who know me, I am always doing ;) There were a lot of kids too, so Kayla and Alerick made some new friends and had a ball. They then started swimming.... We hadnt brought the kids costumes with, Kayla organised a costume and Alerick being a boy took off his clothes and swam in his underpants. I told him to stay on the step or close to it, because he didnt have his wings. The next thing he is shouting for us to "look at him dive" My heart fell into my feet... He had never tried swimming without the wings and now he was wanting to dive. The next thing he was "diving" (jumping up out of the water and diving face first into the water) and kicking to the step..... Swimming with no wings, all by himself. I will post pics soon.

Carols by Candlelight

We went to Carols by Candlelight at Kayla's school. The kids had a little concert all worked out, the parents sang along. It was stunning. Although I think most parents felt that it started too early - fight traffic to get to
the school by 5:30pm and by 6:30 it was all over - the sun hadn't even set yet. So I think next year we will have to make an effort to go to Carols so this kids can experience it properly.
