The pool, at long last


I can't believe it took us until the penultimate weekend of summer to make it to the pool, but we've been so busy doing other activities that it never happened. So we went today, and it was a perfect day for swimming. First, we had to pick up our resident ID cards, which took a few minutes. Dominick received his very own (see August album in Picasa). Noel won't need one until he's four.

Once we got to the pool, Dom headed straight for the kiddie pool, with its fountains and slides. He had a blast. Noel spent most of his time there wading in, stepping out, and repeating ad nauseum. He got up to his waist in the water, but he didn't like any of the spray fountains. Dom and Mike also went into the bigger pool for a little while. The boys made it about an hour and a half before they became fussy, so we went home, cleaned up, and went out for pizza. Because we missed our workouts both days this weekend, after Noel's nap we loaded up the boys in the stroller and wagon and walked a mile or so to the produce market. It was an eventful day.

Check out the Picasa site for more pictures from the pool today and the rest of August's adventures thus far.
