We are expecting record temperatures today of 100 degrees, so obviously I took the girls and headed outdoors. Megan thought that was such a great idea, and she volunteered to come along. We headed to the brand new pool in the Heights. It's got several toys, slides, sprays, and other fun features.
The sunscreen was hardly dry before Hailey dove right in.
Makayla is a bit more cautious. She showed Megan around,
then helped her Auntie go down the steep, scary slide and
chatted about the meaning of life.
Makayla is really loving Megan today, even after what happened later......
Hailey and Makayla had fun together in the lazy river.
Hailey especially likes the big slide. She had a tendency to disappear, but I could always eventually find her climbing the stairs to the slide top, or coming down.
Makayla, who is about 6 inches shorter than the "you must be this tall to use the slide" mark, went happily down several times on her own after that first time Megan tossed her down to show her how not scary it is. Makayla instructed me or Megan to "catch her at the bottom" and that worked well until
that last time she managed to get ahead of the person in front of her and surprise Megan. See that pitiful little splash at the end of the slide? That's Makayla, arriving unexpectedly and going under. See that person in the pink suit, frantically running to catch her and missing by a mile? That's Aunt "Oops" Megan.
Note how only one of these three people thinks this unanticipated dunk was funny.
After three solid hours of sun, swim, and surprise snorkeling, we brought two very tired girls home. I'm fairly certain these two will sleep like logs tonight. You're welcome, Amy.
