This morning we were at the yacht club by 8:30 to join a surprise birthday party for our friend Keira. We haven't been there this early for a long time. The sun was still nice and soft and the tide was in - very peaceful.
A few of us sat by the pool and waited for the birthday girl to arrive. When she walked in her face lit up and yes she was surprised! As well as organising this special morning one of our friends baked a birthday cake for her so Keira was double surprised!!
Birthday girl - Happy Birthday Keira!
After a nice breakfast the children had a dip in the cold kiddy pool.
Just after taking this shot, Oliver got very confident and decided to jump off the little step - of course he cannot reach the bottom of the pool so he had to learn the hard way to float (well...half drowning). I was very proud of him though, he didn't cry nor get scared - one of the mummy's said "sometimes they have to learn the hard way" - I totally agree now. We have been too protective of him...
We all had a swim in a big pool too. Oliver was very keen to learn how to surf - And he was very very good!
Having a big dunk in the kiddy pool he accidentally learned how to float properly.
By the time we got back home Oliver was fast asleep in the car (two days in a row!) and didn't wake up even when I changed his clothes. He had to put on his nice clothes as he was invited to his little friend Noah's birthday party.
Noah had so many toys to play with. They even had a nice trampoline outside! The children had a ball!! I got distracted by Oliver and didn't have my camera ready for the birthday cake shot - it was a very nice ice cream birthday cake : )
Three of us were exhausted when we got home - it was such a full on day!!
