Default Teach your children to swim. Why?

These photos are adorable. The first one is so cute with her tounge poking out and the third one is a perfectly timed action shot. I am sooooo jealous that you have hot enough weather for swimming, we have a lot of wind here at the moment which is blowing the warm air away.

Default So cute

These are great, nice color in them. I had to look at where you were from cause I couldn't even imagine swimming in November. It's actually snowing outside right now.

I would gladly send you over some of our HOT air, but I'm hoping the high temperatures will bring a few thunder storms and very much needed rain.

Our temperatures have been in the high thirties all week and they are predicting into the forties over the next couple of days. Yes, I will accept your snow .

An absolutely delightful set.Gorgeous water colour and the clarity of the action shot is spot on.The first shot is a 'laugh out loud' shot for me. Isn't it wonderful to see children having fun. Lovely captures shmelly!

Why doesn't that surprise me Bill? The storm clouds keep coming and then they leave without leaving any moisture, it really is very dry at the moment.

Don't forget the winter woolies, it will be a bit of a climatic shock I would imagine.
It is great to see the kids confident in the water, they have a great time and it tires them out nicely so they sleep well.
