RJ and Logan and the Last Chance Pool Picnic - August 2, 2013

So excited to get in!

August has just started, and so a title of "Last Chance Pool Picnic" might seem a little odd, especially since it's still going to be pool weather through September and maybe into October. However, we have not yet had a chance to go to the big fun pool at the Livermore Recreation Center, and our good friend was starting full day Kindergarten on August 5 (RJ doesn't start until August 14), so August 2 was literally our last chance to go to the pool with our co-op friends. In a normal summer, we would have frequented the pool, probably going at least a handful of times, but we just didn't coordinate it this year.

RJ and Ashlan LOVED posing for underwater pictures together!

And even when we do go, I usually don't photo-document it, but THIS year, we just got our new camera, which is waterproof to 33ft, so I took a TON of pictures!

Logan also frequented the slide!

We didn't just go to the pool, we made a whole day of it. We arrived for tot time (its a calmer time where they have the pool open for kids under 5. Yes I realize that RJ is 6, but they seem to overlook that as long as you have a bone fide toddler with you.). Then when tot time was over, we potluck picnicked on the grounds and then decided that we should go BACK to the pool when they opened for the public swim at 1, where they have all the fun sprayers on for the big kids.

There was lots of sunscreen reapplication, but both boys still came home with rosy cheeks and I had an all out sunburn (which is now peeling - eww), thanks to the fact that I completely missed a big section in the middle of my back. It was worth it though!
