Summer Boy
It finally stopped raining long enough for us to make it to the pool today. Of course, it's been in the 90s all week, and today its only 80*. The water was a bit chilly, so we didn't stay 4 hours like we normally do. E had fun though.
They just built this little kid "splash park" area. Aside from the kids that are obviously too big to be playing in there being bullies, it's nice. They have a little slide and a wading pool, that at least E can stand in.
He likes the big pool, but has to wear the lifejacket. A few weeks ago he wore his water wings and they informed us that they aren't allowed at the pool b/c they could slip off. Ok, but I am standing there with him the whole time, I'm not letting my 4 year old swim around the giant pool by himself. There are probably people who do though, so I guess they have the rule for a reason.
He also really wants to go down the "big" slide. It's really not that big (you can see it behind him in the picture), but you have to be 4 feet tall to go down it. The first time we went to the pool, he tried to go up the stairs, and made it half way up before the lifeguard made him come back down. He was not happy. I doubt he'll be tall enough to go down it the entire time we live here, he's just now 40".
