The city of Seattle has several wading pools scattered about city parks. The wading pools are GREAT! The pools are chlorinated, supervised by paid park employees, and filled fresh daily (weather permitting). Best of all, parents supervise their kids due to water safety issues (parents do not supervise on playgrounds; it's pretty ridiculous) and older kids don't play in the wading pools because they get bored!
The weather in Seattle has been pretty crappy this June, and today was the first day the wading pools were filled ALL summer. When we got to the park, Jane kept signing "swing". She QUICKLY forgot about the swing once she saw the pool. Jane loved splashing her feet in the water! She was so brave and went to the deepest part of the pool, just past her belly button. And she looked so CUTE (and tall...) in her new tutu swimming suit!!!
I was having so much fun and then Mommy said that I couldn't throw rocks in the pool.... (doesn't Jane look ADORABLE crying in her little tutu swimming suit!!!)
....I got over the rocks BUT THEN I had to get out of the water so that the worker could add more chemicals...
WHAT?!? I can go back in now?!?
A look back to last summer (August 2011, 5 months)
