Van Buren Pool


Another perfect (weather) day here in central NY. We went out for breakfast at Larry's favorite diner, Stella's, and then took a walk along Onondaga Lake (the most polluted lake in America). Weirdly, a bee flew into Larry's sandal and stung him on the top of his foot. We rushed him home and he put ice on it and look some Benadryl. That put him out of commission, so I took the kids to a nearby (20 minutes away) Rec Dept pool that my neighbor Joanna had told me about.


It was lovely and the kids had a great time. The local YMCA is only 3 minutes away but they don't have a baby pool and Van Buren does - Alana can't touch the bottom in 3 ft deep, so she really prefers a baby pool to play in.
The pool has a nice snack bar, with a good selection and reasonable prices - after swimming, Alana enjoyed an ice cream sandwich.

I remembered the camera, but it died after the first photo (the batteries I hope), so again these (mediocre shots) are from my cell phone.
