Anchors away!

Millie was much happier on the boat when we found a life jacket that fitted her. She admired Granny's hat...


...And contemplated the horizon with Daddy.

This is the life!

Floating around the pool, taking it easy - ahhh. Waiter! Sippy of milk please!

Al Fresco

Eating outside is one of life's simple pleasures. Millie seems to like it and it means less clean up for Mum. Everyone wins!

Anyone for tennis?

Millie engaged in some literary pursuits with Grandpa this morning before heading out to the island courts to work on her serve. Chalkdust!






After showing her stuff on the court she cooled down with Grandma and Grandpa.

Little Mermaid

After a few initial reservations about the swimming pool and some coaching from Daddy, Millie became a veritable water baby. Here she is doing some (small) laps being cheered on by Granny and Grandpa Foemmel. Look at her go!

Buckets of fun

Granny Foemmel had a brainwave and put all sorts of fun toys in buckets for Millie to find. She loved playing with them. They didn't stay in the buckets for long!

Oh Canada!

We're up in Canada this week, vacationing at Granny and Grandpa Foemmel's Nova Scotia house. Millie tested out her sea legs and had her first experience of wearing a life jacket, which she did not like at all. Sorry Millie, safety first!


Although she wasn't sure at first (our girl doesn't like the unfamiliar) Millie quickly decided that there was fun to be had in the pool with Daddy jumping up and down in the water. Check out the identical expressions in this pic - Daddy's girl!
