My first day at the pool - at last!

Picture it: 77 degrees and sunny, a nice breeze, and Mommy has the day off work. She decided that it would be the perfect time for me to have my first day at the pool. After lathering me over two or three times with 50 SPF sunscreen, putting a shirt on me, and topping it off with a sunhat (note my pleasure with wearing it), she proceeded to do the same thing for herself (we have the same super fair skin right now). Then, after nearly thirty minutes of preparations, we set off for the neighborhood pool. As we got within sight, Mom got excited that she couldn't see anyone else there. We thought we were going to have the pool all to ourselves. But when we got to the gate, it was padlocked with a big sign that said "Closed for Inspection". That day, we ended up going home and spending the next hour playing in the bathtub.


That bit of discouragement, however, did not stop us. A couple of days later we called Mommy's friend Leslie and asked if we could come over to her pool to play. Not only did she agree to hang out with us, but she also served as our photographer.

Check out my new float! The horn really honks!
