The new kiddie pool...

For the past several years we have been escaping the snow and cold temperatures in January and February by going to Puerto Rico. It's guaranteed to be sunny with temps in the 80s...ahhh, and so relaxing.

What a lovely surprise this year to find that the place where we stay has reconstructed the children's swimming pool! The very unremarkable rectangle of shallow water has been replaced by an imaginative walk-in pool with a 'mushroom' fountain in the 'deep end' (maybe 2-3 feet deep) and water jets all around the pool.

It has been such fun watching the little kids discover all it has to offer and to listen to their squeals of delight. One of highlights for me was watching this little one year old boy. He was fascinated by the water jets.



Then he discovered that if he put his foot on them, they disappeared!


When he moved his foot again, they came back! He had so much fun laughing at the water and then stepping on it and making it go away.

It's my Valentine treat for us all... enjoy!
