Adventure that wasn't

Took niece, nephew, and brother-in-law to the local amusement park to find it closed. Is anyone else thinking of National Lampoon's Vacation just now. It is closed because the great number of 14-18 year-old employees start school that day. Niece and nephew's school starts in 2 more days so this never occurred to us. So since their city pool is open until their schools start in 2 days, we go there instead. Had to listen to my nephew complain about everything to the point I told him to "Shut up, we are not going golfing today." Nephew loves golfing. Got a nice sunburn so I will be tan soon. Niece was crying because the only way we get tan is to burn first, sorry honey it's part of being pasty white. Niece and nephew ran into kids from school. Niece had to show us her bravery of dunking her head for 4 seconds. She hates dunking her head. Nephew won't go underwater so we spent much time with the preschoolers kiddie area that is knee high to us. If the water reaches their chest, they freak they will drown and cling to the pool edge. I try to tell they will not drown in chest high water, but their fear outweighs my logic. Lost my sunglasses on the water slide and a ponytail holder swimming in the deep end. Sister said she would call to see if someone turned them in to Lost and Found since I work all day and couldn't get there before they closed. Had picnic in a park with my sister included. Kids are too big for playgrounds so walked by it. After the pool we went home and chatted with my sister. Said my good-byes and went home. Well, nothing else to report.
