Pie, Slides and Dives

I had been looking forward to going to the pool with Vic since Keaton was born.  Labor Day conveniently fell six weeks after he was born and I was allowed back in the water.  All the things I had wanted to do all summer--go off the high dive, go down the slide--I could finally do. And I could do them with my (braver) pal Vic.

THE SLIDE IS FUN. THE HIGH DIVE WAS SCARY. I was shocked that Victoria climbed up and went off so bravely. I did not. I screamed. Like a little girl. Eh.



One of the Labor Day festivities was a pie eating contest.  After my initial disappointment that it was a slice of a pie and not an entire pie has subsided, we were ready to dig in.  Although apparently, a pie eating contest is a face only thing. Which we did not realize.  It was hilarious.


I had lots of peaches in my nose, but I beat Vic and the nice lady gave us both coupons for $.50 off the snack bar because... well I think she felt sorry for us. That's fine. We bough CHIPS.



Finley was considerably cuter at eating pie. Such a neat little fellow. He was definitely the youngest kid up there and did not get the racing aspect of it. Still adorable though.

  1. The video is helpful for demonstrating HOW TALL the platform was. I don't think people believed me.

  2. This is just an awesome post all around. I tried to go up a high dive once a few years ago and yes, I did walk BACK down the ladder because I chickened out. Only to be told by a boy "I am 9 and I have already jumped off tons of times". Total. Embarrassment. Someday though, someday I will conquer it.

    1. Seeing all the kids jump off it definitely peer pressured me into doing it! And then Vic went first like it was no big deal!

  4. You're brave to jump off that thing...screams or no screams. Jumping off of high things is not my spiritual gifting.
