It is amazing and a joy to watch Abigail in one of the local swimming pool parks. It is a good size water park that has a kiddy pool, lap pool, a big (shallow area up to 6 foot) pool and a water play area.
There is a main area that kids (small and big) can shoot water guns or slide down a slide. There is a large bucket at the top that fills up with water and tips in one direction to pour water on those waiting to get dumped on. She stands there with me and laughs as the water pours on us along with all the other kids and parents.
There are also water holes that shoot water upward and she will sit down on top with the water squirting out. The simple things can be so intertaining!
She had a kick board in the lap pool about 2 weeks ago and I let her lay on the board and kick by her self and she went about 3 feet to the wall, I was quite impressed!
Last week ago, the wife, Abigail and I were in the big pool and teaching her how to open her eyes while swimming underwater. She enjoys kicking and swimming above the water but now she has figured out that swimming underwater is just as cool.
Now she has her own water goggles and water toys that fill up with water and sink to the pool bottom. Just yesterday she has figured it out quickly to dive down, but being a lightweight she can't get all the way down without us guiding her down. She learned by herself to use her feet to move and grab the water sticks, huh was my expression. Smart girl, just like her mommy.
My little girl is growing up too quickly. She picks things up quickly and remembers. Sometimes I wonder as we get older we forget things, uh what was the phone number...what's your name...
Everyday I enjoy spending time with her, loving, teaching and playing a lot. But I don't mind it, I still am a young boy at heart in a man's body!
Just remember, wives enjoy there quiet time to read, relax or sleep without interruptions.
Enjoy your summer with the wife and kids.
