Fun in the sun!

We live in a relatively small town & I don't think we have too many public pools. There is one in that is by one of our parks & it has been there for years. My mom said she & her friends use to go everyday during the summer. Well, by the time my generation started going, it was kind of "used up"...meaning the pool itself & the people who were going.

So, my mom is on the board that totally transformed this place. The transformation is amazing. Whenever you would hear people say, "I'm going to Baker Pool", it was like, "uh, really? Not me." I was a little hesitant this morning to go, but it was fantastic! You could actually walk thru the locker room/bathroom area without gagging. There was a wading pool with slides for kids, a deep pool & a spray pad that was really cool. It had several different motion things where the kids could run thru or stand under. Oh, I should mention that it wasn't open to the public yet; only to the board members & their guests. So it was not crowded one bit.

The kids really enjoyed it & we only had one freak out moment. JB (the dare-devil) decided to dart towards the deep end. Here I am...in my bathing suit with shorts, of course, running to get him. I'm by no means a small lassie. All the while my mom is screaming, "GET HIM, GET HIM!" Mom is great but anyone that knows her, knows that she gets a bit freaked out at times & tends to scare you even more. Love ya mom! So here are a couple of pics. Of course I forgot my camera & had to use my phone. But mom is supposed to be sending me her pics & I will post them. My 86 year old granny went with us.
