LABOR DAY WEEKEND: PART 2 (08.31.08)

THE LAST SWIM IN THE POOL FOR THE SUMMER OF 2008!
Who would have guessed on the last day of summer that Natalie and Poppa could come up with one more new fun game to play in the pool.

Natlie enjoyed a little bit of everything about the pool this last time for the summer of 2008. Here she is just before sliding down.

And now she is just plain acting silly.

There's she goes!

And she's gone!

Now this was another new thing she did. I think she has been watching some Olympics. She is doing this bouncy thing at her news and then jumping...maybe she thinks it is diving?


the splash...

I tried really (but not really hard since I didn't really play with settings) to capture the different sequences of the jump. This wasn't in the above two images because it was a different jump, but if it is the typical middle shot of the last two. I love this one of her in mid-air. No one would have guessed just 12 weeks ago this little one was afraid of the water.

I liked the way the frame of the ladder framed her face in this one.

We had already packed most of the pool stuff the day before, but saved a few for Natalie's last swim of the summer. The last time she used these spider-man floaties so just as suspected she didn't mind using them again. (If Dalton thinks they are cool...they must be!)

While I was running her bath water and fixing some supper, this is Natalie playing with "new" kittens. They aren't quite 2 weeks old. These really slipped upon us. We aren't very good pet owners. We intend to get Mama Cat fixed along with her other 3 children who have made our home their home since no one else seemed to want a FREE kitten (not cat). With our busy lives, we can't seem to make it a priority. Maybe this time we will before we have cat farm!

So in the meantime, Natalie is enjoying loving Mimi's Kitties.
