After we found him standing in the corner of his crib after his first nap, jumping up and down at the exciting sound of the vacuum cleaner in the next room, we got ready to go out.
First stop was the playground. Oliver went down the slide my himself for the first time today. He scrunched up his eyes tightly, but grinned the whole time. He did manage to fall off the bottom of the slide once, but wasn't fazed at all. We picked him up and plopped him back down on the slide ready to go again.... only I noticed his facial expressions were rather suspicious. Turns out he'd managed to grab a piece of bark mulch off the ground and was eating it... yum.
Second stop was the pool. We haven't been to the Gordon Head pool before, but upon some one's suggestion thought we'd check it out. I must admit I'm a bit put off by the cost of the lockers. Any time I've used a locker at the other rec centres it has been $0.25, but Gordon Head charges $.50. I know: it's a quarter, but it's also twice the price! Anyway, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't amazing. The medium pool was too cold, but the smallest pool was very warm, which was quite nice. At any rate, Oliver had an amazing time because water was involved. We even got a few photos this time (click here to check them out on Flickr).
A day with the sun shining, some time outside, big smiles from Oliver while he swims at the pool... followed by dinner of burgers on the BBQ and french fries with garlic chipotle aoli. Sounds like a perfect weekend day to me.
How do you like to spend some of your time on the weekend?
