What is it about kids and water?
This weekend we spent a lot of time at the lido, we did a bit of swimming although too cold to stay in for hours. But had lots of fun. Just being near the water, hearing the splashing, paddling the toes, jumping in occasionally kept the kids happy for hours.
They'd never be as happy at home despite the toys, the tele, the 'entertainment'. Yet outside by the pool with a picnic they couldn't be happier.
Marvellous!
(What to do in winter? Fill the bath and let them at it!)

This is so true, although in my case it's more me than the kids, I am 39 and still love nothing more than being near water wether it's an open sea or a muddy puddle!

My son is like a human dowser - if there is water to be found he will find it & splash in it! Water is the only thing I've found to universally entertain children of all ages - hopefully winter won't last long!
