Saturday afternoon I took the boys to the Fairbank pool for a couple of hours. They have a newer aquatic center with a great kids area for Cooper's age. The pool didn't open until 1, so we were there right at opening, with a 2 hour time limit. (Naps are still a requirement.) It was in the 90's. PERFECT for swimming.

Cooper ran wild, making friends with anyone who would chase him. He took along some diving toys, and soon found a friend that would fetch for him. Cooper sat throwing them, and his friend would bring them back. This worked fine, until his friend decided NOT to bring them back. The moms had to step it.

Carver and I sat in the shade. We didn't get too wet, except when excited toddlers ran by us splashing. Carver wasn't really a fan of that.

There was a break from swimming after we'd been there about an hour, so Cooper ate part of a sucker and we shared a freeze pop and some water. I'm glad everyone has to get out, or Cooper never would have.

The boys both tried to fall asleep on the way home, but I managed to keep them awake and we all took naps when we got home.

Cooper's been asking to go back every day since. He doesn't realize how much work it is for me. Hopefully we'll go back soon!
