Wiley's Big Splash!!


Trips into town for grocery shopping are not usually the highlight of the week. It's hot in the stores and cramped in the car. So, it can be quite a treat, not to mention refreshing, when we get to include the hotel's poolside restaurant in our lunch plans. Yesterday, we did just that. The swimming pool is free to use while there, so we were able to take advantage of that and cool off while having pizza for lunch. It was fun to get to go on a car trip with (as Aden calls them): Bubu Jim ('bubu' is pidgin for grandpa), Kah-tee (Kathy), See-ya (Cilla), Jo and Ee-ya (Lydia). Aden, who has not shown a lot of interest in water, was not too thrilled to go for a dip in the pool, although he did get up the nerve to put his trunks on. Daddy took him around the shallow end, but the whole time he was saying "No, no, no." You actually can't blame him since the water in this pool is always pretty cold. He was glad to get out and happy to just play with a ball in the grassy area near the pool or on the swing and slide that are also near the pool area. For Wiley, it was the first time to test the waters, and he seems to like the water more than Aden does. He had a swimsuit just his size and he loved getting wet! We didn't have our camera, but fortunately Daddy had his phone that can take pictures. Here is Wiley with 'Bubu Jim', one of his namesakes. They had lots of fun playing in the water, and I have a feeling it won't be the last time.
