The only thing anyone in Ohio has been able to talk about lately is the weather because it has been so terrible! Record heat plus major power outages makes for some grumpy neighbors. Fortunately, we never lost power, but it has been so hot. It's rather difficult to explain to a 10 month old way she has to stay inside all day long. After a few very long afternoons, I realized I was being totally stupid and needed to head to the pool!
On Friday, Inga and I met Grandma Wiley at the Dresden. Inga loves the deep water were she can "swim". No kiddie pool for this girl!
Adult swim=snack time
On Saturday, Sam and I watched our nephew, Ethan, while his parents went on a date. Saturday was suppose to top 100˚F, so you can guess where I wanted to go. We attempted the Dresden pool again, but it was closed due to a power outage! I think the power company had to shut off power for awhile to do some repairs, but it kind of put a crimp in my plans. We decided to go to the Coshocton pool since it was actually closer at that point than the Heath pool. Fortunately, the Coshocton pool was open.

Ethan really wanted to play in the water, but was also really scared to get into the water. Meanwhile, Inga just wanted to be in deep water so she could "swim". Sam and I split our time between the two. Ethan mostly played on the edge of the pool filling up his bucket with water and dumping it on himself and the ground. He seemed to have a really good time and at the very end he finally wanted to get in.

"Why I am not swimming?"
"You promised snacks!"
Inga and Ethan were super tired by the end. Neither took an afternoon that day. After giggling with each other in the car for awhile, Inga fell asleep and Ethan pointed out all the trains and trucks we went by.
