To Do Before:
- Find Swimming Suits
- Dry if Necessary
- Feed Baby
- Pack Pool Bag
with:
- towels
- snack
- driver’s license
- camera (maybe)
- drinks
- hats
- something to read, unless going with friend
Also bring chairs, pack stroller in car, don’t forget the pacifier!
Except that you forget the chairs, have to turn around and go back. Can’t find the chairs, they must be in the back of husband’s car, so you scrounge around in your storeroom for the subpar chairs, wedge those into the back and spot the toddler’s swimsuit which was hanging to dry and you had forgotten. Grab that, and you’re on the road again!
Uh, yep. Been there, done that. Except I just saved myself all that trouble and decided not to go. Mine are too little to care that much. Instead we put a couple gallons of water in the little kiddie pool and they splashed around in the comfort of their own backyard.
