Our Very Own Lifesaver!

We are so proud of Olivia, for the past five days she had been attending a lifesavers course.  Her days have been filled with first aid training, board work, swimming in the sea, learning about rips and the different sorts of marine life living off Mordialloc beach that can be a danger to swimmers, how to use the radio and so much more.  

Yesterday she passed her written and fitness tests (running 200m, swimming 200m and then another 200m run in less than five minutes) and she became a life saver!

Of course she isn't too happy about wearing the hat ... but her dad gave her a few fashion tips on wearing it with style!  What does he look like?  And yes that is the smallest top they have!

Even Max tried to help her out with a few fashion tips!

We are so proud of you sweetheart - you decided a long time ago you wanted to be a life saver and just look at you now - mission accomplished!

And what does a lifesaver do next?  She's sleeping in until 1pm she said!  And there was me thinking that our daughter had turned over a new leaf :o)

Back tomorrow with more creations!

What a great post, Nikki. Congratulations OJ, on 'sticking at it' and qualifying as a lifesaver - no mean feat! Love the photos of Sads and Max in on the excitement; very cute. And very festive. Merry Christmas, Sadlers!
