Pool, pool party!

How do you beat the heat when the temps are going to be above 90 degrees all week long? Join the pool party, of course! Thankfully, Oliver's mom Jessie snagged a kiddie pool early this summer and invited us over for a little post-preschool splash time. Much better than sitting in the dark watching Toy Story 3 again and again, and we got lunch to boot...
I'd say Oliver and Elisa were the last two fish in the pond mostly because they splashed the hardest. Elisa had her moment of being ejected from the pool for violating the no splash rule, but after a timid "sorry," I was ready to move on and let her end on a high note. And she did. It wasn't a playtime without incident, but once these two were alone in their dominion, things mellowed a bit and the shade was a welcome relief to the heat of the day. Now I just need one of these in our living room...hmmmm...there's an idea.
