Fool in the Pool

If you read the 'NC Trip' posting in the May postings you read that I made it over to see all the kids and grandkids in NC and had a most wonderful time of it.  During that trip we had an awful lot of fun playing in the activity pool with everyone.  The way this started was that David and Samantha had borrowed one of these things from a friend to try it out.  David had it set up the first morning I was there and of course we had to try it out.  The one they borrowed looked like this:

Of course I had to try it out so with David, Hannah and me playing around I just had to make a fool of myself.  After all, I couldn't let my son show me up.  I didn't know it but Samantha had grabbed the video camera and got all the fun recorded for posterity.  To watch this 'Fool in the Pool' trying to keep up with his son, and granddaughter for that matter, check out Samantha's video at:   http://youtu.be/HdfN0Q70WXQ

The result of all of this merriment was that we just had to go get one of these things and ended up getting the one they wanted.  So we did and within a couple of hours of this video being shot we had gone out and gotten the new one.  Now when it comes time for water fun to be had, the kids are all set to go.  I made it known that there was no way I would ever get one of these things for my household but for the grandkids, why not!
