Cool Pool Fun

July 15

Last Friday morning, Gavin and I met my friend Michelle at my boss' pool. (It's great to work in a place where you're treated like family.)

Michelle brought her camera and caught some really great images of Gavin having fun.

Splashing is always fun.
And the timing on this one is impressive, as was Gavin's aim to get me right in the face. I swear this looks like some sort of magic act, but it's the work of a fast shutter. It really makes me think I might need a really good camera.

Gavin loves standing on the edge and jumping in.
But, the camera doesn't lie; it isn't much of a jump before Mama's arms are out for the catch.
After all that fun in the water, Gavin spied the swing. This was his first time in a "big boy" swing instead of the baby one with the all around protection. This swing was very low to the ground, so he was able to climb right in. I was pushing him--just out of this shot.

He did really well for several minutes, until he decided he really needed to put his finger in his nose. He fell, but it was a short one. A big thanks to Michelle for being able to hang out at the last minute and for the great pictures!
