Enjoying late Summer heat...
The weather continues to be incredible - with temperatures of around 30c most days and in the low 20c's well in to the late evenings which is really unusual for August!! The average daily high for now is 19c!!! :) We made the most of it yesterday and packed up a picnic and headed to the outdoor pool again. It was really quiet there because of the schools being open :) WE love that pool so much - it's such a great size and the steps either end are perfect for Sam and Abigail - it's a great depth with shallow ends either end and a deep section in the centre suitable for adults/ teens and all the tables and sun beds around the edge. The little store is perfect and the garage down the hill is perfect for the teens to walk to when they get bored and want some independence and some freedom!!
We normally have our lunch in the gazebo but we decided to sit in the sunshine yesterday instead of the shade. There is also a playground. We may head there again before the end of the week if the forecast stays the same....
This Summer Abigails swimming has really progressed - her swimming on her back is going great - as is her under water swimming and all her acrobatics and hand stands under water etc etc.....
Sam is just my little fish now - swimming constantly and he is jumping into the pool from standing on the edge - he has so much water confidence and just loves being in the pool. I'm glad we did so much swimming this Summer - it played a huge part of our Summer - I swear I spent my whole Summer washing and drying towels and swimwear :) I'm so glad I bought extra of both for everyone!!! :)
