Wordless Wednesday / day at the pool

by ~Tina on January 18, 2012

 9 Jan 2012 | local swimming pool

One of the things I  love about Summer is that we can head down to the local swimming pool or the beach, spend a few hours swimming, grabbing some hot chips from the fish and chip shop down the road, and come back home with exhausted kids.

Exhausted kids is good! Looks like you're having a fab summer. Melbourne can't make it's mind up – either scorching hot or raining!

i really like the collage! Definitely looks like you had a great day – wish summer would return here so we can do much of the same :)

Thanks! It's only the second time I've used a collage like this and I like it. Great way to show a heap of photos without having to scroll down!

Looks like a lot of fun. Missing summer right now (and fish and chips).

Summer is so much fun with the kids, and fish and chips is a must after a day of swimming. I love how you put your photos together. It looks great. Have you updated your site? I love it, especially the font (I use the same!)

I have yet to find a nice local pool in our area. There's one about 15 minutes drive away. And the beach is pretty close…about 5 minutes drive. I have yet to go there though…better lap up the sunshine before it goes away I guess! Love your photos!! xx

We're lucky here. Quite a few pools to choose from and we live on the coast so a few beaches to choose from too :)

That's what I love about this time of year too. We swim 5 or 6 times on hot days, and all fall in bed exhausted with smiles on our faces afterward. Love the collage – looks great :)

Looks lovely! I've been meaning to get the boys to the pool, but we haven't had a great summer at all here so far. Maybe this weekend we will finally get there.
