Whale Of A Time ...

Today Max helped me run all kinds of errands while Mark needed to get some work done on the computer. We spent most of the day down in Stephens City where the "big park" is and has the "big slide". When we got to the park of course there were a zillion other kids there who mostly like to run and trample over the smaller kids ... urghh. Anyway, in order to get Max back in the car, I told him that we would go check out the pool they have at the park and see what it is all about. That seem to work to get him back in the car and off we went to find the local community pool. The pool is nice and big but, no chairs, no shade and for our family of three it would cost $8.50 each time (a little high I thought) and neither Mark nor I really enjoy sporting a swim suit. Now we were on our way back home and Max was needing a nap really bad at this point and all he could talk about was getting his swim suit and going back to the pool. So after nap time of course he remembered the swimming idea and so we convinced Max to go pick out a pool of his very own to have in our backyard from where you say??? Of course Walmart. So here is our new family private pool. Yes we welcome visitors who are 5 and under to swim free .... and feel no pressure to wear your swim suit!
