Swimming!!

Is there a better way to cool off from the summer heat than to jump in the pool? I think NOT.  L loves the water this year, and is not one to play on the steps of the pool any more. YEA! Here are a few pics of us enjoying the water spots around the state....

Our local pool. You can figure out which one is D, because he's the WHITE boy waving. You might need your sunglasses. : )

K, sunning her buns.

The pool in the town just north of us is so great. We love to go there. It's the same price as our local pool, but there's tons of shade & seating, a BIG OLE SLIDE, zero entry shallow end, mushroom waterfall, and a sprinkler area. We didn't think L would really like the slide, but after she watched some kids do it - she wanted to too. As soon as we got to the steps with her, she'd say "Let's do it again." We had to distract her, to move on to something else. This is also a great place to take K, because of the beach like shallow end, and all the umbrella shading.

Finally, there is a cool little splash pad in the city that we've visited a few times. In the same park is a refurbished carousel that only costs $.50 a ride, and a few different playground areas scattered amongst the picnic tables. It's a great place to enjoy a morning or afternoon with little kids.
