Water Frolics 1

Prince Tyger's trip Out West had to end on a high note, which for the Tyger means his favorite element: water.  As it happened, there was a swimming pool at the lodge where he and his parents were staying.  After all, Prince Tyger's water experiences up to then on this trip had consisted of lakes, where he couldn't go into deep enough water to "swim."  So, after mountain-climbing, exploring the area and getting acquainted with the goats, as well as his daily routine of meals, naps, books and playtime,  Prince Tyger and Papa Big T spent what remained of the day in the swimming pool.

This time, Prince Tyger has on a special life jacket in addition to his head-to-knee swimming outfit, complete with wet shoes for his "little" feet.  (His feet really are not as little as that.  He wears almost the same shoe size as Princess Butterfly does and she is 3 and 1/2 years old!)

The Tyger finds it much more fun to ride on Papa Big T's back than to fend for himself.

And Prince Tyger also has to make sure that Sweet Momma H is performing audience duty!

Just like his cousin Princess Butterfly, Prince Tyger likes to jump into the water and have his Papa catch him!  Oh, what fun!

After all that exercise, it's nice to have a quiet moment to try to learn to float.

But ONE moment of "quiet" is enough!  Let's get back to "playing horsey," Papa!

Giddy-up!  Let's go!  Yallah!

And so it goes ... these "vacations" are HARD work!
