Back to the swimming hole!

So, the swimming hole is a concrete wading pool, but we city folks have to take what we can get! Emma and I met a wonderful former neighbour for a walk this morning and we meandered into our old neighbourhood park so Emma could pop by for a dip. This former neighbour is from another generation, having raised her kids and enjoying her grandkids now, but she's fun and wise and it's always so interesting for me to spend time with people who really live and enjoy life, putting themselves out there and taking risks. This lady is well into her 60s yet last year she went off with some friends to spend a month in India...I doubt I'd do that now, forget about when I'm well into my 60s! She's always trying out new things and she has a great spirit...hope I'm that open to new experiences in 25 years!

Here's Emma doing her balancing exercises!lol The fun (and sometimes frustrating!lol) thing about Emma is that she has yet to meet an item which only had a single purpose to her...sure a ball if fun to throw, but look, it makes a great chair too!

Can you tell from the look on her face that she's debating whether or not she should throw that water at me!lol

Throw it Emma, throw it! Always do that stuff when you are young enough not to have really harsh consequenses. Or at least as long as you can pull the "but I'm your cute baby" face on Mom.
