Sean and I used to go to a pool near my old house every summer (I used to take Tashena to this pool when she was younger, too). We haven't gone there since I moved but this year Sean mentioned that he wanted to go back. We were able to go yesterday and it was so much fun. When we got there Sean was a little bit tentative so I told him that we could do something else if he wasn't having any fun. Luckily he was able to make a few friends which meant that I could sit poolside and read my book! Every time I looked over at him he had a big smile on his face. It was perfect because it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too crowded.
Note: The first time I took Sean to this pool, he wanted me to buy him some snacks. The food isn't that great so I convinced him to wait and I would take him to lunch. There is a Sonic right by the pool and we ate lunch there. Now it is tradition to get a Sonic shake every time we go to this pool.
