Summer’s over; WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

September 6, 2010 Ticia 9 Comments

It’s starting to “cool off” here, by that I mean the high is only in the 90s, not 100+.

 

So, I thought I’d celebrate the unofficial end of summer with what has  become my new favorite pool, which sadly is closing today for the season.

The water is surprisingly cool.  Most pools at this point in the summer are actually rather warm from having been warmed all summer long in the Texas sun, but this pool is kinda cold.  I know it’s just cold to us sissy Texans, but still.

What’s the point in a waterproof camera if you don’t take a few underwater shots?

We went there this weekend with Jeff, and since I had an extra adult I was able to get them to try the big slide.  (Obviously, this is not the big slide, but I didn’t bring my camera Saturday, and it’d be a little hard to take a picture of me sliding down anyways).  The boys LOVED it, and I went down that slide with them at least 20 times each.  I think they were in a competition to see who could go down it most.

Shhhh, don’t tell them I won, because they weren’t tall enough to go down by themselves yet.

 

 

If anyone’s interested in going there next summer, here’s their website.

    Ha! I think it's funny that you said the pool is cold. Come swim in the ocean with us here in MA!!!

    It stinks that the pool is closing for the season, especially when you still have so much warm weather to look forward to.

    I miss having public pools to go swimming in the summer. One of the drawbacks of living where we do live.

    Our local pool closed a month ago and it just started warming up this month! We got to swim only 4-5 times this summer but JC is sensitive to chlorine so it's probably best. Will miss the summer though. That looks like an awesome pool!!!

    This looks like an awesome pool! Ours stays open until end of September, but unfortunately the weather will probably be too cold by the time Anna is back. The boys look very confident in water!

    Wow! It was 32 when we headed out on our road this morning – and was clear up into the 60's, so hot :), by the time we got home this evening. Our pool is heated, though – but I think today was the last outdoor day, too.
