Fans, it's awesome. Awesome! As with the beach balls, Julie is perhaps as excited about the whale pool as Joe and Clara. We have had perfect pool weather this holiday weekend, so Saturday morning, while Julie and Joe did the Target run, Ted blew it up while Birdie napped. After Julie and Joe were back home, it wasn't long before Joe discovered it ("There's a whale in the grass!"). Naturally, he stripped right down to his underwear, and eventually, to nothing. Once Clara was up from her nap, she was taken out in her diaper. They were right back out there after they were up from their nap. We turned on the fountain (which can, if the water is turned on even half way, shoot up as high as the apple tree reaches), watering cans were hauled out, Wally the Walrus was chewed on, water was splashed.
Both Joe and Clara were briefly dipped in the water. Joe isn't much for being wet--once he realizes he's wet--especially when he's in clothes, even if they are clothes that are meant to be wet. He has, it must be said, a rather rapturous love affair going with his towel (which is really a glorified blanket to him). We think Clara would have happily stayed in the water, but when she was dipped, the water level in the whale was just a little too high for her to be really comfortable (it gets higher as the spout is going). The side of the whale is also just a little too high for her to throw her leg over, but oh yes, Birdie Brigade, Our Birdie did try (and try, and try). As we have reported, she gets right after things!
