Lost in Blue

(Took the title from one of my video games, seemed fitting)
Summer's coming up, and today was the day that workers began to clean out our neighborhood pool. They drain out all of the old, brown water into the lake, (I wonder if the fish appreciate that...I wouldn't!) then they hose it out, clean out the pool, (usually, it has gunk and gross stuff on the sides) and fill it up with new water. (The water that they add in is freezing!) Last year, they repainted it, so it looked all nice and new. Another perk from that: No skinning your toes on the bottom of the pool anymore! (We used to scrape our toes a lot, it hurt!) The pool is really nice, the only problem is that it's only five feet deep. No jumping/diving! It gets really crowded sometimes too. We go a lot during the summer, although we didn't go as much last year.

Actually, Olivia and I prefer to go to the Y to swim. (FYI: The Y=The YMCA) The Y near our house is really nice, and the pools go up to nine feet deep! Olivia and I can touch the bottom, but sometimes our ears pop. We also love the hot tub. Ah, so nice and relaxing...Water looks like a blue jewel when light shines on it just the right way, doesn't it? Like an aquamarine, or something. Yup, us Ginn kids sure love to swim!
