Well it's not the beach, but it's the best we can do!

So today Gideon and I drove all the way to Pocatello just to play at Ross Park's Aquatic Center. We went with some friends who have kids around his age, so it was a fun group outing, even if we adults didn't get to socialize much with each other. We pretty much stayed in the kiddie pool & the lazy river (Gideon loved both and kept running back and forth between them) so it was a busy afternoon.

One of the best things about Ross Park is that they let you take in your own food and beverages so we packed up a picnic lunch and enjoyed the entire afternoon. I didn't really get many pictures because HELLO WATER, but I got a few. The munchkin had a great time and completely wore himself out. After about three hours he just marched out of the pool and announced "Done!" So we changed clothes and headed home.

It was supposed to be 95 & sunny today, but it never got that warm. Still it was mid-80's and partly cloudy, so not too bad for a day at the pool. I got to wear my floppy sun hat and wish I was at the beach. So I'll consider it a success.
