The Cool of the Pool
Aug 1st, 2008 by Brian
Last summer, after Laurel was born, I took about 8 weeks off from work to hang out with Oscar and give Anna some help with the new baby. One of the great things that Oscar and I discovered that summer was an incredible water park at one of the county YMCAs (for you San Diego locals, its the Cameron YMCA in Santee). Beyond the standard swimming pools (one specifically for lap swimmers, and another set-aside exclusively for free swim) they’ve also got a three-story water slide and a water play structure for the kids with slides, nets and water canons.
Oscar and I must have visited the park a half-dozen times last summer, but hadn’t made it out there yet this year so we decided to make it today’s Family Fun Friday activity. The pool with the play structure goes from 0 to 3 1/2 feet at its deepest and Laurel had a great time floating and crawling around at the shallow end (unfortunately, we were having too much fun with her to get any pictures). Meanwhile, Oscar probably spent a good hour perfecting his water slide technique.
I was a little too excited about our pool adventure and actually got the family there a good 30 minutes before the beginning of the afternoon swim session (Oscar was very patient)

I am so very jealous!
What a great pool! And your comment on the last picture cracked me up — fast-forward 20 years and that could totally be Oscar the Hunk!
