The exercise:

Write something which takes place: at the pool.

Went for a family dip at the pool this morning. Max has been taking swimming lessons and has been eager to go with us. He finally convinced us, even if the boys were passing the time before we left by making a snowman in the yard.

At least the water was relatively warm.

The exercise:

Write something which takes place: poolside.

Because one of Kat's friends here in town lives in an apartment complex that has a pool, and she invited Kat, Max, and some of our other mom and baby friends over to check it out this afternoon.

Today was a good day for that, since it was rather stupendously hot out. It's not even June yet, guys. I mean, I appreciate the sunshine, but can we cool it just a little bit?

Thanks.

Mine:

"What did I tell you, man? I told you this would be awesome, right?"

"That you did."

"And I'm so right, right?"

"Well, I can see the awesome from here..."

"Oh come on, dude! Hot babes all around, wearing nothing but bikinis? A crazy big pool? Enough alcohol to get a football stadium full of people hammered for a week? What's not to like?"

"Well, how about the fact that we're not hanging out with the chicks or swimming in the pool or drinking any of that booze because we're not staying or visiting here... we're working here?"
