Pool Hopping!

This kind of pool hopping wont get the police called on you or worse put you on Terry Haws' hit list...

On Monday Davis, Aubrey, Baylee, Karen, Kelly, Lara and I decided to go swimming at a local public pool. Kelly has been telling me about this place for a while now and has wanted Davis and I to go with her and Baylee but it has never happened, until Monday - well we thought.

We all decided to meet at Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center at 12:30. I had to run into town to get my swim trunks from Karen's house so I met Lara, Karen and Aubrey there and we all headed to the pool together. When we arrived there was a long line out front. I saw Kelly's car and figured she was already inside. As we stood in line we noticed we were not moving. An employee came out and said that they were at capacity and that it would be 40 minutes before we could get in. It was too hot and there was not shade and we had a two year old and an 8 month old ready to swim NOW!

I texted Kelly letting her know that we could not get in and we headed to another pool up the road. The pool we went to was much smaller and had fewer people. It was fun to play with Davis and Aubrey in the pool. Davis at one point even laid on his back in the water and drifted asleep while his Aunt Lara held him afloat.

Later, Maria returned home and found Davis and I napping. We were both so tired from swimming, running around and the 114 degree weather! We had been asleep for about two hours and I told Maria we best wake up Davis or he would have a hard time sleeping during the night. We tried for a while to get the boy to wake up but he could not hold his head up or keep his eyes open. He was so funny and even began to laugh in his sleep as we laughed at him.

It was a fun day. I hope to have a repeat sometime and hopefully we can all get into the same pool.
