a kiddy pool!

I recently heard about a kiddy pool located near the parks where we take the boys.  It's a 30 minute walk from where we live on Haeundae Beach.  This is the only kiddy pool that I've heard about, and knowing that I didn't want to deal with the sand, I decided that we'd check it out one morning.

When I told the boys we were going to play outside, they were happy.  But when I pulled out their bathing suits and Parker's swim diaper, they just about lost it from excitement.  "We going swimming, Mommy?" Connar asked in his sweet 3 year old little boy voice.  "Yes we are, but not at the beach....somewhere new!"  :)

Once we made the walk over there, I saw that the kiddy pool didn't open for another 20 minutes.  I took the boys to a small play area around the corner to pass the time.


The first time he went to climb these ropes, I ran over to stand behind him and told him, "Don't do this without Mommy."  Next thing I know, he's climbing it like a monkey...and I'm not anywhere near him!  I could see that he seemed to have it under control and he was confident, so I planted my feet where I was and let him be to give him a chance to do it.  And he did!  When did he get so big??
 

They're little monkeys!  If it can be climbed, it's on.

It was time for the kiddy pool to open, so we headed that way.  Yay!  We were the only ones there for most of the time, and they had an absolute ball in that water!




 

 P liked backing up into the water pouring out of the wall.


 Built in best friends are awesome!  :)

 They both wanted to sit down in the water so it would hit them right on the face, and even in the mouth, in Parker's case.  It made me nervous, so I stood close by, but they just didn't want to play any other way.

 Connar also loved running over to the little play area next to it...

I'm sooo glad that I heard about this place.  We'll definitely be hitting it up again.  :)
