Today the high was 102 degrees, but there was a nice breeze that made it bearable. We took Emmalyn and Blake to the local city aquatic center tonight. Take a moment to remember your local swimming pool. It was probably something like a long pool with a diving board at one end. This place had an area that had water shooting out of the ground, a playground type area in the water with a slide, a lazy river, whirlpool, and a floating dinosaur to climb on in the deep end. Nothing like one extreme to another. Emmalyn, who loves the water but has not spent much time in it, was very concerned whenever the water would spray her, yet wanted us to take her to the deep end! Blake of course snoozed through the whole experience. It is such a joy to watch your children experience something so simple as playing in the water. It reminds me that it is the simple things in life that interest them the most.
