January 9 2012 | Day 9

With today forecast to be a scorcher, we had mostly planned our day around swimming and trying to stay cool.  By 9am the kids were in the pool and thats pretty much where they stayed until lunchtime.  By the time they jumped back in at 2.30pm I had finished work and was finally able to join them.  While we were out there some awesome rain clouds moved across the sky and the kids had a blast floating on their backs and pointing out the different shapes they saw in the sky.  From memory there was a dog lifting it's leg to pee (if course JJ found that one!), a giraffe, a frog, a gun and a hand giving the thumbs up sign.  This simple amusement went on for ages and before long the clouds had moved across the sky and were gone as quickly as they had arrived.  By 5pm we were all pretty water logged but Georgie was adamant she was going to see more clouds.  So, we lay our blanket on the front lawn (because the back lawn is out of question.  Juno would lick us to death if we dare lay on the ground) and together we searched and searched for clouds.  There were none :(  That's ok though, because we still lay there, on our backs, talking and making up stories.  Me and my girl, enjoying the last of the afternoon sun after what has been a wonderful day.

Cloud dreaming Day 9 away.
