Summer is finally here. After weeks of June gloom in July, the sun has finnaly come out and shown its face. This of course means summer activities. Swim lessons, going to the beach, lounging in the ghetto pool in the back yard, summer grilling, and getting a tan.
At this moment I’m sitting in the shade at the community pool as my daughter takes her 2nd week of swimming lessons. The pool is quite large and blue with the deep end in the middle dropping to 12 feet. Parents line the south wall just outside of the water as they watch their kids flounder in the pool like fish that have just been pulled on to the boat. The life guards are all women, brown and tanned with large hats and wet shirts. You hear them yelling out childrens names like Santa calls for his reindeer, ” Go Amanda, go Terri, go Rachel, go Paul ! On the top of the water to the very far wall ! ”
The lesson will be done soon. We’ll walk out and around the corner where the kid will pick up a free box lunch that the center gives away to any kid that asks. She’ll grab the lunch and we’ll walk home. In a few hours we’ll both be in our ghetto pool relaxing and getting some sun. Not much else to do today. Lucky me.
