Heated swimming pool

We went to a birthday party for B today --- he turned 4, and they held his birthday party at the local recreation centre: a nice space, but it seemed like they were unready for the party. Firstly, there were several large exercise balls in a box in the room --- perfect for the kids to play with, run around after, etc. After five minutes, however, the staff came into the room and asked that we not play with them. I have no problem with the request, but they might have actually told us ahead of time, rather than disappointing the kids in the middle of their fun.
And then when it came time to swim, it took some arguing to get them to let us use the pool. Apparently someone had mis-set the thermostat for the kids pool, and instead of being 89 or 90 F, the temperature was 95: it is amazing what a difference 5 degrees can make to the way that the pool felt!

Still, if you are going to sweat, I guess that doing it in a swimming pool is the best place!

Yours, wet.
