Bummer

So today was a very pretty day. I decided it would be fun to take Elinor to our pool for her first outdoor swimming adventure. It took us about an hour to get ready. I know what you're thinking, and hour? Really? Really. Because of all the cryptosporidium last year (it was really bad in Utah last year) there are extra precautions that need to happen before you get in the pool. Especially with an un-potty trained baby. Elinor had to have a complete bath first. So did I. Then I had to squeeze her into a swim diaper (apparently she has grown since the end of April). Now it was sunscreen time. I saw on the news this morning that the way the rays are hitting today that someone with fair skin can get sunburned in less than 5 minutes today. So I slathered. And I slathered. And I slathered. If you know us, you know we are pretty much the epitome of fair skin. Finally I squeezed her into her very cute swim suit (apparently she has grown A LOT since the end of April!). I got dressed and then we loaded up the stroller. We walked over to the pool. Then I saw the sign: Pool Closed. Boo. I'm so glad the management people let us know that the pool was closed. But the management here pretty much stinks, so I don't know what I was expecting. So know we are greasy from sunscreen and bummed that we didn't get to go swimming. Oh well. Maybe next time.
