Swimming Pool Cues


Monday afternoon, Jude and I took John Patrick to the beach again. This time, however, we had a plan. It was Jude's plan, actually. We loaded the baby pool in the back of Jude's Honda Pilot and took it to the beach.

Predictably, John Patrick wanted nothing to do with the sand at the beach, upon our arrival. I carried the baby pool into the ocean and filled it up with water. Jude and I struggled to pull it out of the water and up onto flat sand. Once we did, we sat John Patrick in the water, in the baby pool, in the sand, on the beach. Sounds complicated, doesn't it? He loved it.

While John Patrick played contentedly in the baby pool, Jude and I threw the frisby and enjoyed the late afternoon sun at Santa Rosa Beach. Sometimes, necessity is the mother of invention, after all.
