Anyway, I was also kind of frustrated because I was looking for a pool in our area of Williamsburg to take Lucas to this summer. I found a nice one in the Queens Lake community, and it's right by the York River. Well, I called the ahem..."Pool Committee Chair" John Walters and found out that the only way I can take Lucas swimming even for one day, is to pay a $400 application fee for a 'family'-meaning anything more than one. So, I was kind mad because the people that can afford $400 for a hole in the ground with water in it, have their own pools. The lady was bitchy about it too when I called.

Well, it's been a few hours and I have been talking to my friend Shawna about going to the beach or getting seasons passes to busch gardens instead (which by the way would be cheaper and more worth it than a stupid pool anyway), when I get a call from a "cell phone VA". I thought maybe it was John on a friend's phone or something so I answered. I heard some music and a girl talking in the background...I kept saying, "hello?" and then this song came on that I liked so I stayed on a little longer, as she started horribly singing it..lol. So I eventually hung up, but everytime I picked the phone back up, she was still there singing to herself..I left the phone and was feeding Lucas when the phone rang again, from the same number...her singing again. I hung up and called the number back to tell them to lock their phone or something, and it went to voicemail for a "Heather Walters". It was the little rich brat daughter of the "Pool Committee Chair", probably accidentally calling my number that was stored in their phone. I wanted to tell her to embarrass her but I didn't. Thats all. Kind of funny though.

That's a pretty funny story. That's crazy on how much they want you to pay to swim in their pool. I don't think it's worth it. Maybe you can try and see if you have a YMCA there and can take a Mommy and Me swim class.
Awww! I hope you guys find a pool. We already know some places we plan to take him to when the weather gets extra warm. Can't wait!
By the way, do you have a water park there? There should be a kiddie section.
brianne- yeah i know a ymca membership would be ideal but i am not paying for a membership if i dont have a car to go regularly--itd be a waste. i just wanted to find a pool to go to when i can, without a membership.
iris- yeah its already been in the 90's and humid this week. i will find somewhere or just goto the beach. there is a water theme park 5 min away but again, its only worth it to get the season pass if i can go regularly. dont worry-we'll figure something out-- i just know lucas will love swimming!
HA! How weird?!
I've never heard of a pool costing more than $1--that's CRAZY!
dang richers lol. There is a cheap pool at this park called Quarterpath park- so as soon as they open, i'm there.
