Cool Pool Time X 2

On consecutive days sunny mild weather

allowed us to get the grandkids in the pool(s).

These are a poor man's excuse for pools.  One

is a three ring blow-up pool for which only 

one ring holds air.  So it has been converted

into a "Sliding Pool."  The other pool also 

leaks, but not so much if you put it on a 

downhill slope.  You can judge whether these

kids care or not.

Prior to getting swimsuits on, Hunter launches

about 20 items into the pool with his left hand.

Then about 2 with his right hand, just for fun.

There is no end to the creative play.

But what are these pliers doing in the pool?

Which boat shall I said today, the cabin

cruiser or the yacht?

Always eager (and grateful) to help, Bri

refreshes the water in the sliding pool.

Yikes, Grandpa!  This hose is like

rasslin' a wild horsie!

Both kids slid on the slide quite a bit.  Then,

as the video shows, Hunter invented his own game.

And it went on MUCH longer than this!

Time to get dried off and re-hydrate with 

a yogurt snack.  Mommy will be here soon.

But I don't wanna go home yet!

(When a child hides under the rug, you

know she's committed to her cause).

Today, Claire and Evan got their turn at the

pool(s) a few hours before the tornado warning.

They made the most of it.

Claire can really leap.  Do you see why I 

always keep the camera on "sport" setting

with a fast shutter speed?

It's all about a graceful landing and a

big smile for the judges, Grandpa.

Hummph.  Who cares about big smiles?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

He's got the whole world in his hands
(hmm . . . haven't I seen that before on this blog?).

Occasionally, Claire has to recline to get

her hair in just the right style again.

Highlights of this video are Claire making

a humongous splash-- in both pools-- and

Evan doing his water dance.  Classic.

Once again, getting dried and dressed so 

Mommy can take us home is a requirement.

And if you don't want to leave yet-- you hide!

Uh, did somebody say "lunch"?

No such thing as a poor man's pool around

here.  We know how rich we are!
