Pool Party

When our real estate agent showed us our house she pointed out the room that would make the perfect nursery and the two huge parks on either side of our block, "perfect for kids" she said. At that time we thought we would live in the house 3-4 years, let it appreciate at the then 12%/year and then use that as a down payment on a bigger house in a better school district, THEN have kids. So we laughed it off and admired the walk in closet possibilities.
Then along came Nolan, and now I can understand the appeal of living close to parks with lots of activities. One of the parks has one of the 28 wading pools in Seattle so on those hot days we were there instead of sweating it out in our oven...i mean house. Luckily we brought friends to keep us company. Miss Annabella and her mom Heather were game to explore the joys of the wading pool.Unfortunately, this pool is now closed so we will have to wait until next summer to splash around some more. Too bad, Nolan loved his time there!
By the way, Nolan is in the room that made a perfect nursery, sneaky real estate agent!
