The Pool is Open!

The girls and I had our first trip to the pool this season. I wasn't sure if we would go today since this morning Sofia had football (soccer) practice. Sofia's practice means that we don't get home from that until after lunch but since Ali decided (after screaming fits) that she wasn't going to nap I gave up and let her just have some quiet time. While the girls were being quiet and the afternoon stretched ahead of me (and Jason is at work today) I decided to make the most of Ali being awake. I decided rather than stay home and find ways to entertain that we would head to the pool. I brought my ID chip thingies so that I could purchuse my hours for the summer but I forgot to get money out and the pool doesn't take credit cards so I couldn't fill up my chips for the summer. Oh well, next time! Luckily I did have enough cash to get us in for the afternoon. The girls were very excited to be going back to the pool as was I. When we walked over to the kiddie pool there was noone there. The kids had the entire pool to themselves. Unfortunately, our afternoon was cut a little short since a large rain cloud came over head with some thunder but it was still worth the trip to the pool. By the time we were packed up and leaving the cloud had moved on but by then we were all ready to go. I'm looking forward to our pool trips this summer. Now that Ali is old enough it is nice not to have to bring the stroller with me too.
