My summer has consisted of work, work, work, and more work. From teaching swim lessons, to lifeguarding, I have been at the pool between 30 and 40 hours every week since June. It's been so much fun! I really love the people that I work with, they are just a blast to be around! I love watching them swat gnats with their rescue tubes, seeing everyone rotate to their next chairs at their own (fast or slow) pace, oh! and I LOVE watching the boys do tricks down the slides or off the diving boards. I have been so well entertained with this job!
I think that one of my favorite places to guard is the kiddie pool. It's kind of scary sometimes, but watching those kids and those parents with their kids is ADORABLE. A few weeks ago, there was a 7 -year old sister teaching her 5-year-old brother how to belly flop. Once she demonstrated it, he immediately exclaimed "uh-uh! I'm not doing that!" Oh, it made me laugh. Dads can be so cute with their kids sometimes too. For some reason, they like to break all of the rules while playing with them (namely throwing them across the pool), but it's still so fun to hear all of the kids laughing up a storm. The most precious thing I saw was a dad playing a game that his 3 little girls made up. It didn't quite make sense to him, but he still went along with it. The girls were over-joyed that their dad was playing with them. All I could think was, "boy! I hope my husband is this cute!" Randomly throughout my rotation, I find myself laughing/smiling at the things that I see. I just love it!
I wish I had my Cali friends closer to me so that they could be a part of everything going on! Boy, do I miss those kids!
