Every Sunday, my parents would take my family on an "adventure". Sometimes we'd go on a nature walk, to a museum or maybe to our favourite park. My favourite was swimming because I got to cling on to my mothers for the whole hour. We'd play with the flutter boards and splash my dad and my brother. But the best was when my Mom would take me for a "moon walk" during the last 5 minutes of pool time. I'd wrap my arms around her like a monkey and we'd head out to the "deep" end. My Mom would simply bounce up and down across the width of the pool and back, talking to me about the moon and occasionally add some sound effects. When it was over, it was time to go. It all seems so simple, looking back on it now, but it will remain one of my most cherished memories. Now that I have a little cousin, I do the exact same thing with her for the last 5 minutes of pool time... just like my Mom did with me!
