I took Zach to the Legacy Park Community Center pool tonight. It has a large area for little kids with slides, fountains, sprays and other water games. He is at a stage where he does not like anything that is loud. The Legacy Pool was very loud. He held his hands over his ears. We were able to find a table on the quieter lap swim side. I got in the water and showed him some tricks. He giggled, and decided to try the first step.  After a while, he was ready to try the kids area. I have never heard him squeal so much. He was so excited. He loved the frog head with the pink tongue slide. I caught him the first couple trips down, then he did the full splash in the water.  We'll have to go back soon.

We tried the Powell Garden's fireworks last night. Even with the gun mufflers on, he did not like the loud bangs. We left pretty much right away, but we got there late and didn't have to pay, so that worked out pretty good. We may try the Lee's Summit fireworks from the car, so he can see that they are pretty, but it is going to take some convincing to get me to take him to an outdoor display again next year.

Also, it is hotter than hell here.
