Waiting for the whistle...

... yes we have been sucking the marrow out of each and every summer day around these parts
(we have now been here long enough to know that they are truly fleeting)

this summer that has included about 234 trips to the pool...
... where there is a 'break' every hour on the hour 
(don't ask me why they do it... pretty much for the lifeguards to take a break and flirt with each other is about the most I can gather that is happening during this time...)

... and as the '5' minute (which usually turns into 10... but I'm not bitter at all!!) draws to a close, 
the kiddos get so excited, they can hardly stand the anticipation of the beloved beckon to re-enter the cool pool...



... I think they hit the water before the whistle finishes blowing!


... and this year they discovered that the pool had a concession stand...
(I made it almost to the end of the summer before this 'great' discovery...)
... but for .75, a 'super cook' slushy sickle seems to hit the spot, without breaking the bank :)


... and now we are off to our LAST day of the summer 2010 pool extravaganza before they close our super fun silver lake pool ...

they have started to do hourly breaks at public pools so if your kid has to go to the bathroom you take them then, instead of them going in the pool. lifeguards dont like cleaning out poo from the pool. ;]
