Summer's here and the living is easy!

Or hot, as the case may be.  Since the temp has hovered in the 90's for the last couple of days, we decided to head to the pool yesterday!  It was so nice to be back.  Andrew even had a good time (once he decided that he liked the water).  Nathan got into the water more than he ever had.  He even went down the smaller slide, which is something he hadn't really ever done before.

Our park system has about 100 rules for the pool.  Their rules include how close you have to be to your child (under 6 must be within arm's reach), how many kids you can have with you (no more than 3 per adult, though I'm not sure how they would enforce that if you had 4+ kids), and what type of clothes you must wear (bathing suits, no cut offs).  They even check babies who have to wear swim diapers AND plastic pants AND a bathing suit.  But, I think they are missing some of the most important rules.

1. If you are (how shall we say it?) umm, well-endowed, especially if you've had at least one child, then please stop shopping for your bikini tops in the junior section.  They just don't give you the support you need.  Seriously, it's embarrassing for you (even if you don't notice).
2. If you have to shop at Lane Bryant (which is OK, I love their clothes!), then please remember that string bikinis are NOT your friend.  Nobody wants to see that much cellulite.

I also have a 2a to pregnant women.  When you come to the pool, wear a suit that covers your stomach.  Yes, pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but stretch marks are not.

If I could post these rules, and have everyone follow them, I would be one happy swimmer!
