The best pool EVER

This weekend was the grand opening of the pool in the new section of the The Woodlands. We braved the crowds today and it was awesome. It has a lazy river, giant tube slide, huge kids play area and best of all a concession stand that sells Smoothie King and Chick Fil A. It was really crowded today but there was still plenty of room to play. I even ran into a friend from grad school and her family. Here's some pics though Owen's not in any of them.

The entrance to the lazy river.

And Owen in his very stylish goggles. I am SO proud of him in the pool this year. In the past he's been resistant to going under which was a pain and really holding him back from swimming. But now he's underwater almost the entire time that we're there. My goal for the summer is having him swim some semblance of freestyle by the end of the summer so I'll have to rack my brain back to the days when I taught swim lessons! Right now we've got a good doggy paddle and he'll do a version of breaststroke underwater.



And finally a picture of Owen giving himself a facial with the leftover batter from blueberry muffins :)

Hi there, I work for Smoothie King, and I am glad to see you are enjoying our smoothies with your friends and family this summer. They are a great way to cool off and definitely a healthy and quick option.
