It’s Memorial Day Weekend and after a long winter, neighborhood pools across the country are throwing open their gates to hordes of chlorine-starved, pale-legged children.
At first, Adelaide was a little skeptical about wading into the cold water of the kiddy pool toward the screaming, splashing toddlers.
Adelaide has never been to the pool so was unaware that she should be eagerly awaiting this weekend – when the Pinewood Greens Homeowner’s Association would set out the rainbow umbrellas, plastic recliners, and “No Running” signs which officially declare that pool season has begun. Melinda, however, has been waiting all winter long to dress her daughter in cute baby swimsuits. So, on the first day of pool season, Adelaide was wrestled into her suit and off we went.

It was beginning to look like Adelaide would never overcome her misgivings about the dubious merits of public pools. That's when we introduced her to our secret weapon - the bouncy ball. With the help of ol’ orangey, she was even brave enough to graduate to the big pool.
What's a little cold water when there
are bouncy balls to be played with?
SPLASH - hey, my face is wet again...
Adelaide's arms are really only long
enough to splash herself.
We foresee many pool trips and bouncy balls in our future this summer. Jealous? Invite yourself over, we have plenty of guest passes.
i think i'm mostly jealous that it's warm enough to go swimming (current Provo, UT temp: 52 degrees). yay for pool parties!!!
