Memory - Hillary

While Jessica and I sat by the pool at the Memorial Day party, I was remembering some of the things we did when we were kids. We used to come swim (A LOT) at Grandma and Grandpa "B's" house. If the diving board was use a lot a collection of water would pool up in the HOT bricks. We would always sit in the warm, usually dirty water and pretend that it was a bath.
Sometimes we were able to play with gallon jugs. We would fill them up and set them on the HOT brick the entire time we were swimming and then when it was time to get out and we were all cold we would pour the whole gallon of warm water over us.
Other times Grandpa would let us have one of the 5 gallon buckets which we would play with in the pool. We would turn it upside down filled with air and then push it under the water while one of us was underneath breathing under water!
We had lots of fun times at Grandma and Grandpa B's. Of course there was the Victorian hair styles, the candy bar game, making wave pools, putting dive rings around our ankles pretending to be mermaids, and lots of other fun games in the pool. Then afer we got out of the pool we would ALWAYS get a treat. It seems like we spent almost everyday there and I'm glad we did.
