Lessons were staggered between 10:30 and 11:20 and free swim didn't start until 1:00 pm, but the lifeguards let us stay and lounge around while we ate lunch and waited. We had a lot of time to sit and chat and watch the kids. Thus my legs are a brilliant red tonight. Every five minutes I'd hear, "How much longer?" Since they don't let the free swimmers in until 1, we had most of the grassy area and sand to ourselves--nice. Tasha and I got smart and moved to a shadier place before the crowd poured in, and finally at 1:00 sharp, the lifeguards blew their whistles. Whew. The slides were open and Amy and Misha had a blast.
Misha and Jonah got tired of swimming after awhile. This particular activity would give my claustrophobia, but Misha didn't seem to mind. I finally extricated her from the sand so she wouldn't be too sunburned. She had sand in her ears! That's almost as bad as the crunch of sand when you accidentally eat it.
