Summer!

Before we move, I decided it was time for the kid to grab some friends and head for the local pool! I wanted it to be our treat so that before we moved I could use up part of the swim pass I had purchased last year. So we all piled into the car and went over to the aquatic center. Despite the FIVE lifeguards at the pool, while they swam I amused myself by repeatedly counting heads-- '...1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...where's 6? Ah, there she is.' Over and over and over and over...

I love this one, it looks like a staged photo for the town Parks & Recreation advertising flyer.

It was great, it was the first day the pool was open for the season and I don't think many people realized it. The kids had a great time and wore themselves out, the car on the way home smelled of suntan oil while they chattered like magpies and snacked on oatmeal cookies and fruit bits.
