Croatia time


Hi Poppa, are  you enjoying your fish?

Hanging with my brother



I conquered this water park. Look how big it was was. I swam out to it and then clambered on board. First I had a go with mummy and then with daddy but they kept falling off into the deep sea.

Can you see me and Daddy?

Here I am climbing along
We went up the cable car to look over Dubrovnik


and more fun was had. Lots of swimming in the deep sea to get there

Practising my capoeira which I had learnt in Bornehavn

Meeting one of Mummy's friends


Relaxing over lunch with Granny Moo

I jumped off that big rock into Mummy and then we swam to the other side. It was very wavvy and I had to really swim and kick hard to get there. I was very brave to have a go!


Here I am after my swim across the water with Mummy

Yay for Aunty Bex and story time
There was a real castle so I got to be a real knight


Swim time with Farfar

We found this fountain in Pula and cooled off

Well I have had a very busy time this summer. The biggest thing I have done is learn to swim without my arm bands. Now I can swim, with my arms, over and over, without touching my feet onto the bottom of the pool. I also learnt to use my snorkel and mask and even went out into the ocean with Mummy and found fish underneath me. I had to be very brave as it was quite wavvy and it was quite strange seeing fish swimming underneath me. I love the water. It was so hot in Croatia that I lived in the pool, doing lots of jumps and diving down to get my toys. Poppa hired a special boat which he and Mummy peddled out to the deep sea and then I got to climb up a  ladder and slide down a slide where I landed in the sea. Mummy was in the water catching me but it was quite scary.
 
I did some biking as well and I am getting better at turning and using my brakes. It is so much more fun now I can do it all by myself without the training wheels.
 
It was so much fun to see Poppa and Milke and then Granny Moo, Farfar and Aunty Bex. I think it was the best. I also ate a lot of ice blocks and ice cream, yum yum.
 
It was also the summer of lots of bugs and catching them with my butterfly net. We saw huge beetles, lots of crickets, some lizards, grasshoppers, bees, butterflies. I was very brave but I like bugs and I had to catch them and let them go outside as Mummy doesnt like them so much.
 
The end of our holiday was a bit different as there was so much traffic on the way to the airport that Mummy, Felix, Matilda and I missed our flight. So we had to go home in the car with Daddy and all our things. It took us two days and we drove though Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Germany. What a trip. It was so much fun and we had lots of yummy treats to get though the journey. Wow what a holiday.
