Gaizka goes swimming part II

Today Gaizka and I were in the pool again. Together with his little friend Mila ( also born on 24-09-2007 ) and her parents. One of them could make some pictures of us, so we have new material.

Here goes........


Together with Mila


Here they have to jump in the water (in our save arms).
Gaizka is getting ready....

Wauw, did you see that jump??!!!

They like the little slide... but do you see the big yellow one in the background.....that's the one they LOVE!!!




Saludos a todos

Going to the city center

Yesterday we went to the city center. For the first time we went with the three of us, walking.
I had to found out if Gaizka could sit on his stool for a long time.

We were lucky to 'catch' a big ship which was on his way to Rotterdam Main Port. The bridge had to open and Gaizka thought it was very interesting.

Well we made it. Going by the Willemsbrug on our way to the center and on our way back we went over the Erasmus bridge.

Gaizka went swimming!!!

Last sunday Gaizka went to the 'baby'-swimming-class. Unfortunately it was impossible for me to take pictures while working out with Gaizka with the swimming-group.
There were a lot of children in this class, I think around 15. That helps a lot when your child is a little bit afraid. That was soon over and Gaizka was the one you could hear laughing around the whole swimming pool.

We were doing exercises with the help of songs for children. After that, the kids were going under the water through a loop.
After that they had to jump into the water in our hands.
Then they were ready to take the 'catwalk'. It was a floating device of around 5 meters and they had to walk over it and at the end the had to jump into the water (in our arms).

After that the teacher asked if they could run the water through the big slide. This slide goes from the top of the swimming pool (10 meters ???) , and then with some loops, all the way outside the building and with some other loops into the water.

And my little boy was enjoying it. We went 4 times. After that he was getting cold and Iker was waiting at home to get some food, so we went to the locker rooms.

And those lockers were fun to play with as well...............

Always at the playground

Again on the Altopana

I love the sand. In Rotterdam I almost go every day to the playground, but this beach is so much better!


Of course we also go sailing for a little while.




I wave at all the other boats. I like to wave at people, so on the water I can work it out.....



Too bad Antonio has to work. Now we have to go home again.....
