Pool time!

Today we went to Arrowhead Public Pool in Chandler. It was Family Swim from 11am-1pm and there was no charge so we figured we'd go check it out. I honestly thought we wouldn't be staying long since Aubrey doesn't seem to be a big fan of pools. They had a huge pool with a high diving board and then a regular spring board. There was also a kid area which had a water slide, a toddler slide, a lazy river and a zero depth entry pool. I figured Aubrey would be happy with the zero depth entry and she'd play there for awhile before getting the courage to venture into the pool and get her body all wet.

Well we started at the large pool where Jeremy and Brian spent most of their time going off the high board. Aubrey and I went into the pool to watch and it was chilly getting into the water. Surprise, surprise - she didn't make a peep about it! Usually she cries when the water is cold. We waded into my chin and we stayed there for quite a while! Aubrey loved people watching - she was super busy between the kids playing water basketball and everyone jumping from the diving boards.

After a bit we headed over to the kid area. We waded into the zero depth entry pool and Aubrey watched us doing that clearly letting us know she wanted no part of that! Jeremy picked her up and sat her down and she got upset. She jumped up and that was the end of that. Jeremy and Brian went down the water slide (think slide like at a water park!) but Aubrey was too small to go down with them. She and I waited in the water while they took turns. After the slide we traveled the lazy river and then headed back to the big pool.

The guys went on the diving boards again while we played in the water. Aubrey got tired after awhile so we got out and it was a bit chilly with the breeze (it was 99 out)! We went to stand in the sun and I got her all wrapped up. She asked for her maka so we went to one of the lounge chairs and she nursed for a few minutes. The guys finished up their dives and Aubrey got up to see them and started dancing to the music that was on the loudspeaker. She had us laughing! She stopped dancing as I started to take a video so both guys started to dance but she wouldn't join them. It was hilarious to watch them dance! Before we headed out we were able to grab these two photos. We think we may have found a great place to hang out this summer!
