Pool rats

One thing Cincinnati is lacking that I loved growing up were local, public pools, where admission was cheap and the water was chlorinated within an inch of it's life. In our suburban area most folks join a private pool and with the girls old enough to enjoy it for more than 10 minutes, we followed suit and spent most our free time this past summer enjoying the water, water slides, and hanging out with friends. One or both weekend days, weather permitting, we'd pack up with lunch and snacks, extend naptime and make most of the day of it. I'm a pool rat myself and chose to spend my time enjoying the water and sun and didn't manage to snap many pictures unless it was on the way there or back. The shots below depict pretty much how the girls felt about the pool and we're all mourning the end of summer...
