Oscar's first trip to the pool

We have just gotten back from Oscar's first ever trip to the pool! It's been a bit cold and rainy this weekend, but the pools were indoor and heated, so it was quite warm when we got there.

Initially we took him into the baby pool. I'm sure mum and dad can guess his first reaction - he kicked around like he was in the bath :) However after a bit of that I think he realised he was somewhere different, and spent the remainder of the time studying everything he could with a detached expression of mild curiosity.

The pool we went to has these weird mushroom things which rain water down, and he rather enjoyed that. It also has a sea creature which sprays water from it's head and he really tried to grab that water, even though it just made it spray into his face :D

After a bit of a play in both the baby and the kids pool (he was a bit weirded out by floating I think) we changed him, wrapped him up and he instantly fell asleep. He's still asleep now that we're home :)

We didn't take any photos at the actual pool, but there are a few shots of his cute little outfit on flickr and facebook, so check them out :) He looks very tall in that first one..

Gardening

Damien and I did a bit of gardening today. We've started a vegie patch in one of the corners, a little herb garden in another area, and also planted a couple of native shrubs. It was a lot of fun! Hopefully the weather is nice again next weekend so we can work on it some more.



The vegie patch - baby spinach, chives, mixed cos lettuce, leek and peas.







The 'herb' garden - marigolds, strawberries, basil and carrots (only seeds at the moment)
