Francis at the Pool


Francis at the Pool
Originally uploaded by The Gulde Family.

Oak Park has a couple of community pools: Rehm Park and Ridgeland Commons. We bought our family pool pass this week, and Francis has already been to the pool at Rehm Park twice. It’s walking distance from our place. Good thing, too – our water heater is on the fritz, so we’ve been getting clean at the pool showers this weekend.

Francis is not sure about the pool yet. She holds on pretty tight and you can feel her legs trying to climb up to higher ground when you’re carrying her. One thing she does like, though, is eating COOKIES at the pool.

We bought guest passes, so if you come visit us, we can all hit the pool (we promise to have the hot water heater by then).
