The pool at Washington Park opened today. I took Norah swimming there for an hour or so this afternoon.

The crowds weren't too big since it had been raining earlier in the day. Norah made fast friends with two other little girls and they played by racing each other swimming, jumping in at the same time, seeing who could jump the farthest, who could swim the farthest in one breath...

I loved playing at the public pool in the summers when I was a kid. I have the best memories from those days. I was happy that I could watch my kid doing the same thing.

We'll go back soon, definitely.
