Swim at the gym

13 July

Every now and again, we take Emma for a swim at the gym... she loves it, so much so that we can normally use the trip to bribe her to be good.

We have a pool at home of course, but our neighbour's trees block out any chance of sun.

Usual activities in the pool include:

 

The throw into the air and let her fall under the water before raising her up again.

 

The drag along by a pool noodle...(I think she might like this?)

Crunch (munch) some (pool) weights.

 

Dad spits water at Emma through the gap in his teeth.

And of course some swimming, where Emma kicks (a lot) and doggy paddles (a bit).

And then the (long) walk back to the car 

because every time (every f@#$ing time, he 

says laughing) she INSISTS on walking 

on the little step next to the rail...
