Last Day of Summer

(Or, "The Longest Blog Entry Ever")

Today was the last day of summer here-not because of the weather (which is still hot) but because today is the last day the pool will be open in our town. Half an hour before the pool's closing, Daddy decided that we should go down the slide for the last time this summer. The idea came from Emma Claire's parents. Daddy is very spontaneous. That means that he decides things at the last minute. It's something that Mommy loves about him, but she says that it's trickier to be spontaneous with a kiddo around. I don't think she's right-I got ready to go to the pool really fast!

Hi, everyone, let's swim!


We saw a lot of our friends swimming at the pool. Here we are talking to our good friends, Emma Claire and her daddy. You know, of course, that grownups always have to talk for awhile before they let kids play. Emma Claire and I don't mind.


Wahoo, we're sliding and racing with Emma Claire!


Where is Emma Claire? Oh, here she comes!


Isn't she beautiful?


Here we are taking our daddies down the slides again.


Yipeee!


Here we are racing again...where's Emma Claire?


Oh, good, she made it!


We love sliding! (But not posing for the camera.)


Come on, Emma Claire, let's go again!


Another race...where's Emma Claire?


Here she is again. (Daddy and I have a secret method to winning the race every time, but we're not giving up the secret. We like winning too much.)


Come on, Daddy, let's go!


Here we are swimming in the big pool with the daddies. The mommies didn't get in this time because they didn't think it was worth the trouble for just half an hour. They really missed out!


Daddy and I were the last ones out of the pool except for the lifeguard. Goodbye, pool! See you next summer!


After we came home from the pool, we changed our clothes to go hear some music. Ohhhhh, how I loved the music. I loved it so much that I stayed still to listen and watch. There were lots and lots of people there, and we saw all of our friends who hadn't been at the pool and talked to them.


Here I am enjoying the music with Mommy (above) and Daddy (below.) Each time the music stopped, I said, "PLEASE!" and "More!"


Thanks for a great last day of summer, Mommy and Daddy!
