Exploring Carrollton's Rainforest Pool

The kids and I had a great time last friday at the public pool in Carrollton.
It was our first time to go and having friends to meet there made it all the more fun.
There's Simon exploring the lazy river - a couple of time he went around in an intertube.
He was a little timid at first, but by the time we left (and with no encouragement on my part - I was too busy socializing) he was a pro at the lazy river and had even gone down the slide a couple of times.
I'm thankful I put a sunshirt on him - it was overcast so I forewent the sunscreen and Simon fared fine w/ his sunshirt and baseball hat BUT I had a borderline tan/burn and Evie officially has her first tan line!
So cute - but we'll try to stay away from those!
That is the slide Simon went down AND..... EVIE!
I couldn't believe she went down it - I was at the bottom to quickly get her out since she landed face down in several inches of water .... but she loved it, I think!

Oh, on Saturday night, I saved a child's life.
Just a normal day in the life of an every day citizen.
Well, I'm not sure if I am over-dramatizing the story or not ... the details get foggy with time but I did jump (okay, step) into the pool (not in a swimsuit) to get little three year old Andrew who had slipped out of his floatie and was struggling. My friend Maray has given me permission to exaggerate the story with time :)

I did have to spend the rest of the evening wrapped in a towel while my skirt dried in the Brewer's dryer ... and I did reach Andrew about the same time Chris did, so it's a little blurry as to who gets the lifeguard medal :)
