On Labor Day, it was the last day that our pool was open. I knew SJ was going to want to go, but the forecast was calling for rain. My neighbor called to see if Bob wanted to go biking on the trail and he wanted to go. I told her that my husband, SJ and I would probably go to the pool. She said she would keep Bob at her house if we got home after them. I told her thanks and started to get ready for the pool.
I sent out a text to our pool friends to see if any of them would be there. Our one friend was at her lake house, one responded that they weren't going and the last friend said they were going to the river instead. They then invited us to join them at the river.
I knew my husband would rather go to the river, but it was the last day that the pool was open. My husband said we should ask SJ to choose between the pool and the river. I assumed SJ would opt to go to the pool, but to my surprise he chose the river. (He does love tubing!) I texted back our friends and told them we would love to join them.
I texted my neighbor to let her know we were going to the river. She said fine and we headed down to join our friends. (Bob is not a huge fan of tubing, so he wouldn't be too upset that he missed it.) SJ jumped into the river as soon as we made it down to the dock. (Boy oh boy, that kid LOVES the water!) After a short time, my husband and the other dad took the kids out on the boat for tubing. I stayed at the dock with my friend.
While the guys and kids were out tubing, our other friend arrived with her two kids and we waited for the boat to return. After they got back from tubing, we hung out at the dock for another hour. The kids were diving off the dock and playing in the water.
So we may have missed the last day at the pool, we still had a great way to end the summer. A day of tubing at the river with friends was just as memorable as a last swim in the pool!
