Swimming in the Summertime

This is at the Sleep Inn waterslide park a couple weeks or so ago. Daddy likes to go on outings with Chelsea and she likes to request going in the water. It was too cold for Roosevelt or the Splash Pad, two outdoor favorites, so they came to the hotel instead. This is the only picture they paused to take (I was working this day) but it sure is cute!

This was last Monday. They had free swimming and some prizes (we didn't win any) at Roosevelt Pool. The credit unions in town sponsored it, just to give back to the community. It was a lot of fun.

This year Chelsea is big enough to go down the kiddie slides all by herself! She was a blast to watch. She got really into it and braved the kids (as well as some scary daddies that were there) to get up the steps and take her turn going down the slide. Daddy was the "take turns" monitor for quite awhile, making sure Chelsea didn't get intimidated into letting all the other kids go before her.

Cheese! Actually the thing she said the most was, "AGAIN!" though she is saying cheese in this photo.

Here's how Daddy and Chelsea "swam" in the pool. It was quite cute, and quite cold by this time.

Time to warm up! It was fun wrapping up and snuggling together as Chelsea shivered and watched the other kids around her. Very sweet. But eventually she started squishing me and it got uncomfortable, so I passed her on to Daddy. :) It was a very worthwhile trip to the pool. Thanks for letting us know about it, Grandma Heit!

A small taste of the fun.

This is in the car on the way home. I ran out of memory space at the end. You can see as Chelsea reaches for the duck at the very end. She picked it up by the hair and flung it back toward Daddy. It was pretty funny.
