There really aren't public pools in Brooklyn. Okay, well, there are pools but none we would want to go to as they are not convenient and extremely overcrowded. But, in the great wide world of the suburbs, there are many lovely public pools with ample space. Mandy found one in her neighborhood so we headed over to her area Saturday afternoon.
Initially, Kip hated it. He was glued to me the entire time and cried if I tried to set him down. The splash pad part of the pool was new and pretty awesome but the water features were really strong and overwhelming. It was basically like a splash area you would have at a water park. Not really intended for babies. So Dan, Mandy, and I just sat in the kiddie pool with Kip and he eventually got used to the cold water and started playing around.
He just takes awhile to warm-up to new things.
We also took him in the big pool in a foatie that Mandy got him. He liked it okay but kept trying to drink the water so we decided to head out. It was past nap time anyways.
We had a good time and I'm sure it will be even more fun next summer when Kip is able to walk and play a little more.
Sunday was church and napless triggered tantrums...
Happy hump day!!!
