Pool Time

Gotta love summer fun...

We are blessed to have a free pool in our community... and we havent been there a ton yet, so today we went for the afternoon!!!

We had a blast... except for the pool nazi. OH MY.  Why must people create drama?!?!?
Our pool has no life guard and only a few posted rules.  ya kno... no running, no rough housing, ect.

There is a person there at all times to check our pool passes to make sure no one comes that isnt supposed to.  Well, it seems that the person on duty today (and it seems, thelast few times we have been there too), has decided to begin to enforce rules that I didnt know exsisted.

One time when we were there, she told some kids playing Marco/Polo that they were being to loud and the whole neighborhood could hear them.  Um... so? And really, they werent that loud.  When we arrived today, you could FEEEEEL the tension.  She was telling some kids to stop playing with their ball.  Huh?  Why?  Their parents were like, um, no. Then she TOOK the kids ball.  One of the boys was abot 4 and started to cry.  Really, lady? 
Then she told another mom that her raft was too big.  Once again, HUH?  No one else seemed to mind. 
Then the parent of the kids with the ball, took the ball back and started playing with it.  She came over and started yelling at them... keep in mind, she is about 20.  Yelling at grownups about rules that dont exsist.  Sigh.

Eventually, a lot of the growups just kind of ganged up on her and said, we are having fun, we are keeping our kids safe, no one is getting hurt, and no one is having any issue with anyone else.
She called her mom who is the leasing agent for our community.  When ehr mom came, the ball was in the pool, as was the "too large raft" was being used again... and she said nothing.  I felt like I wanted to say something to this girl.  Tell her, its ok.... we are being safe...  Its ok.  You can relax.  I wanted to reassure her, and comfort her.  I wanted her to know we didnt hate her, but she was making pool time not very fun.
But in the end, I said nothing. 

Oh well.

We had fun anyways.  We played with our beach balls and other little balls.  We dove for rings, jumped in the inner tube, and laughed a lot.

It was a goooooood day!!
