I'm always pleased to find great deals...this is the best one yet that i've come across this summer! Seeing as how it's been over 100 degrees every day since we've been in Texas, it just makes sense that the city has 3 or 4 public pools...the best one we've been to yet is the Washington Aquatic Park...it's on the opposite side of town, but worth the drive considering it only costs one dollar!!! Kids 2 and under are free, I only have to pay one dollar....it's so convenient because I can put a life jacket on Carter with arm floaties and let her loose...there's a separte toddler pool that's only a foot deep, so while she's playing and I keep an eye on her, I can still take care of Owen...thankfully he usually just snuggles in the stroller for a snooze while we play. The life jacket rental is free, there's life guards everywhere, the pools are SOOO clean, there's a few shaded picnic areas and outside food, floaties, toys, blankets and chairs are welcome!!!! We couldn't ask for anything more....I do believe this Sunday we're going to go in the evening for the family swim time!!!
Carter is getting to be such a big girl....she's very hesitant to get in the water and explore at first, but with a little silliness from her mother...and encouragement from her little "boyfriend" Jackson....she'll do just about anything!!! Jackson is such a sweet little boy, his family is from Utah, his dad is selling alarm systems, and his mom Christy is a gem! There's a few other "wives" that we're getting to know...it's a little tricky as they all live in the apartments because they're part of the original Midland group. It's nice thought that at least I still have Katoba and her girls here in the hotel as well, so we get to see a few familiar faces!!! The past two weeks John's cousin Kristy came out to visit her husband who is head tech (John's boss) and i've had fun getting to know her one on one, she comes to chat with me late at night when we're both all alone waiting for our husbands to come home....Carter adores her, and Owen likes to smile and coo at her too!!!
Carter and Olivia sure had fun riding on my back, it's the only way I could get them so play in the water at first! Later they got brave and branched out on their own!!! I have to say it was fun for me too! I know I look a little silly, but I just really didn't care, helping my kid have a fun time is what it's all about! I was so surprised that we got a few pictures together where we're both smiling and looking at the camera....it's SOOOO hard getting a two year old to look AT the camera, I'll cherish these few pictures! My Carter is such a funny girl...just silly to the bone, I SO enjoy the time I get to spend with her each day, laughing and teasing and snuggling...what fun we're having this summer!!!!
