Field Trip 2011: Aquatic Center

Poppy came along for our second field trip of the summer … and Tommy stayed home with Grandmama.  Our real estate agent rented out the local pool and invited all of his clients to come for a BBQ and a swim.

It was almost the perfect pool party … there were very few people there (especially considering how big the place is), so the boys had plenty of room to play.  There are a couple of really tall slides that we usually say no to because there are always lines.  This night, they climbed the stairs and got right on the slide.  The big boys rode down with Kevin and it was fun watching them shoot out the bottom.  They were flying down pretty fast!

Rusty spent plenty of time on his own little frog slide in the kiddie pool.  This boy has no fear and was soon ready to move up to the bigger play set slides.  You can see the two tall slides in the background of this next shot.

It was a bit chilly though.  I found a hot spot near the play set and hung out there with Rusty trying to warm him up for a while.  He wasn’t interested in that … he wanted to swim with his brothers.

The big boys didn’t notice the cold at all.  They were having a blast and would go swimming every day if I’d let them.  Maybe someday when I don’t have babies to stress me out at the pool …

Once Rusty was a lovely shade of blue, we finally forced the big boys out.

Second summer field trip  … good!
