A Day at the Hershey Pool

(Sorry this is so long, but it was hard to not include pictures!! :) )
So, we love our Redneck pool, but we thought we'd try something new. I had heard that Hershey had a great pool and you didn't have to be a member. So my mom and I took the kids last Saturday. We had a great time! The weather was beautiful (although not as hot as it had been - was about 75)! There was a cute baby pool (which they tired of after about 5 minutes) and then a HUGE pool which was sectioned off. The first part was 2-3 feet and perfect for the kids. Sydney was able to bring her floaties in, which was GREAT!!! It only took a little while for her to gain some confidence and she was off and swimming on her own with noone holding her.

She was Rah Rah's girl all day and only wanted to swim with her!! :)


Jumping in from the side! BIG girl!!
Mason thought it was way too cold to be swimming and wasn't even in long enough for me to take his picture. Here he was suited up and ready to go - but didn't even get in this time! :)


He was perfectly content to sit out and watch us - oh and eat Cheese Balls!!! :)



FINALLY, she agreed to come in with me and we spent the next hour playing Motorboat (thanks Caren!!!!) ;)
After 3 hours at the pool and swimming almost the whole time, you can imagine what happened on the ride home!!! :)

CRASHED (but still holding her ring pop - her treat at the pool!!)

I love this next picture. If you click on the picture, in the bigger image, you can see the sticky sweet lollipop around her mouth!!! :)


** Be sure to check out our Dropshots site for more pictures and video of Sydney swimming by herself! :) **
