Pool Time

The weather was not typical August weather the week we spent in the Black Hills. Tuesday was cool and rainy, Wednesday cool, and finally warmer temps on Thursday and Friday. Neither Hubby nor I are big pool fans, but we know the G'Kids are. We spent Thursday afternoon at the pool, when it finally opened after lightning strikes and thunder and closed about an hour later when once again, lightning was seen in the sky. To the grands, a little pool time was better than NO pool time. We made up for it on Friday afternoon, spending about 2.5 hours in the pool.

The camping resort has LOTS of water toys available for check out. "M" tried everything from water guns to balls, to flotation devices.

Also awesome for us, he was content to be in the wading pool the entire time. 

Miss W played in the 3 foot pool. She could touch bottom and keep her head above water. She found 'friends' to play with and was content to stay in the 3' area, which delighted us. 

The HR has 'pool police', but no life guards, per se. We spent our time under the canopy watching the two of them. The pool was very busy on Friday afternoon and every time some kid hollered, "Grandma. Watch this!" many heads turned to check out if it was 'their' kid who called. Far more grandparents there than parents.

And this was the culmination of 2.5 hours in the pool. Two very tired kids, crashing on our cabin bed.
