A swimming we will go...

So, we had plans to go swimming tonight.  It was a good evening for it, yeah?  We got Bailey and ourselves ready to go, sunscreen on, and off to the public pool we went.

Once there, we discovered something that disturbed us, foiled our plans even.  The pool was CLOSED.  No sign nothing, but no one was there.  We have yet to understand why.

Needless to explain, we had a very upset water baby with us.  She was not pleased to watch us drive away and head back to our driveway.

Then suddenly, an alternative idea struck us.  There was Pomona Lake nearby and off we went (and honestly, I don't really like swimming in lake water). 

Bailey had yet to nap today (and so it was a very long day as they usually are) so we fought to keep her awake as we made the 17 minutes drive.  She did not want to stay awake until she suddenly saw the beach, and then it surprisingly wasn't an issue any longer.

We didn't play in the water for long, which angered the shivering little duckie.  She cried and cried for a bit, and what was meant to be a saving grace almost turned into more trouble than it was worth, but we had a good time, and made it back home with plenty of time to hang out with the dog.

...The pool better be open next time though.

(And yeah, we'll call first.)
