addy in the "inflatable thingy"

addy looking very confused at the pool

so we finally made it to the pool this summer! and we happened to arrive at the area pool on a 'family fun night'!! super duper times. they were giving out free popcorn & lemonade, had a big red inflatable jumping thing (what is that really called? we have no idea) & did face painting. addy loved jumping around in the inflatable thingy, even more than she enjoyed swimming. she practiced her swimming lesson techniques of getting in & out of the pool very often...actually, that's mostly all she did; get in & out of the pool, in & out. she did steal some great toys from other unsuspecting kids & was also very upset when we made her return them (we went to the pool fully unprepared as parents: no toys!). she cried when her & daddy went under the very large water fountain. she tried to sit down in two feet of water & then had a very panicked look on her face as we pulled her up (but she didn't breathe in! go swim lessons!). she also tried to eat several soggy pieces of popcorn found on the ground. we didn't think she would sit still long enough to have her face painted (good thought). and most importantly: we used enough sunscreen to keep her from burning!
we will return to the pool this week with grandma sue & this time we will bring toys!
