She had been asking for it for weeks, and it finally arrived: opening day at the pool! She greeted the summer with gusto and was hardly contained in her excitement. She quickly learned that yelling "blow the whistle" to the lifeguards will not speed along break time and that she is not much taller than 2 feet since she more than once plunged deeper and found herself sinking- of course, she thought it was all just part of the fun. It took her a couple of days to realize that the pool is now open for the summer and there is no need to have dramatic displays of saying goodbye to the water and to her pool toys and friends everytime she leaves- much nicer leaving when there aren't major tears and tantrums!
Gramzie and Pop Pop braved the cold water that Lucy didn't seem to even notice and everybody got a great shoulder and back workout from catching Lucy as she jumped off the side of the pool a zillion times.
