back to the little pool

We went to the little pool for the first time today.   When we're there it is as if only summer has ever existed at all.

I remember driving by this pool when it was full of snow a few months ago.

But sitting there today, it was never winter, was it? Nah.

She doesn't remember this pool.  See her serious little face, taking it all in.

She wasn't that interested in being in the pool.  She more liked to dangle around on the edges.

The people--she was fascinated by them.   She met them at the gate, walked with them and watched while they ditched their sandals and  beach cover ups, watched them jump into the pool.

Then she tried on their shoes and wanted to dig through their beach bags.

She said, "Hi," to their babies over and over.

That is a bottle of water her mother sent.

After a couple hours we headed home again and it said 99 degrees on the dash of the car. It seemed pretty hot, but who knew it was that warm?

Storms are forecast for tonight and I gotta say, the 2012 little pool season is looking pretty fine. love, Val
