Click to enlargeIt's no secret that I'm no great fan of fall so in typical Robin and co style we did our best to wring out every last drop of summertime we could, including one last trip to the pool before it closes for the season. And yes, before you ask, she does have to wear that bathing cap - they're standard here in public pools for anyone with long hair (unless you're a mom with her hair up and sunglasses on and so not visibly "swimming", then they let it slide to avoid a mass revolt).

Hard to believe that this was just a few days ago - it's now pouring out and fall seems to have arrived in all it's soggy glory.

The caps save the pool filters. I know that when my step-kids were young and visiting the public pools they, too, had to wear swim caps.
ReplyDeleteI really love those last hora's. Looks that you all had fun. Happy RT
ReplyDeleteI'm with you ... stretching out summer for as long as possible though I would welcome some rain. Even though I hated wearing them when I was younger and they were required for pool access, I'm thinking about getting myself a cap now that I'm swimming daily. I don't like what's happening to my hair and figure it's worth a try to see if it helps. Love the hibiscus blossom in the previous post!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
That looks like such fun! Would love to have the pool all to myself like that. We deal with so much heat in summer here that I love fall, but the shorter days and early nightfall make me kinda sad.
ReplyDeleteahhh, farewell to summer. I'm glad you had one last swimmy fling.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and beautiful. I'm not sorry to see summer go though. I feel so read for fall and cooler weather. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for summer to come! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
We're definitely feeling the arrival of fall here during this first week of October.
ReplyDeleteSeptember is our warmest month, and the only one that feels like we could hang out in swimming pools - but once the fall arrives with the crisp, colder air, it's pretty dramatic.
Much fun!Happy WW!

It's Indian summer in Provence, maybe that will come your way :)
ReplyDeleteThat water looks so blue! I am the opposite with my love/hate of the seasons. I LOVE fall and winter, don't mind spring, but almost hate the summer. I do love swimming, though. :)
ReplyDeleteOh you'd love it over here - we are just heading into summer.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful out there! I'm glad the kids are enjoying what they can!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the jumping and splashing is over till next year. sigh.
ReplyDeleteNot me, I love the fall!! So glad you got just one more day at the pool.
ReplyDeleteWe hit the beach quite often this year. The last couple visits were spoiled by jelly fish, though. They seemed to find my daughter often! I remember wearing swimming caps when I swam at my neighbors house when I was a kid. She always had a supply of them for all her friends and guests.
ReplyDeleteLooks fun to me - sad that it will close.
ReplyDeleteI love the four seasons!
Great photos.. looks like they're having a blast. :) Happy WW
ReplyDeleteYour last hoorah at the pool looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWe had our last swim a couple of weekends ago. (I know you said you aren't a fan of the fall, so you probably think I'm crazy, but I couldn't wait for summer to end...lol!)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a great time! :)
What a great collage/mosaic .. looks like everyone had a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteWringing the last bit of summer by swimming was an excellent idea! Looks like everyone had so much fun! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! :)
Great memories to last till next summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and fabulous summer memories to carry with you through the winter.

Awwww...that looks like so much fun! And it just makes me miss summer again... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Love the pool... love the fall... could stand a little cooler weather over here! So jealous. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks might inviting, especially compared to the snow we've already got on the mountains around here.
ReplyDeleteman are you lucky - it was in the 40's here this morning!
ReplyDeleteAgree with you - don't like the cold weather.. Here in Malta we're still enjoying our last hot days (the evenings are getting slightly colder) even though we officially started autumn. Hope the weather stays like this hehe.
ReplyDeleteLovley collage Robin!
ReplyDeleteFall will do it best to please you I've been told ;)
The best of days to you!

It seems like you had a great time at the pool :)! Congrats as Blog of The Week on Amanda's blog.
ReplyDeleteYep, soggy glory indeed. It's almost time to start a fire in the fireplace around here. But that swimming pool looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteOur pool is closed now, although today has been a wonderful day - hot. I'll miss the summer too. The kids are all into Halloween now.
ReplyDeleteShame it's over but still it won't be long before it is back and open again! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteOh Robin, I hear a note of sadness in this. I love the summers as well not just because of the temp but because I get to spend more time with my girls (except now they are too old for me!)You have so many years ahead with your kids enjoy them every second you can!
ReplyDeleteFall has a way of sneaking up so quickly, doesn't it?? Good for you in getting every last bit of summer that you could!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time at the pool for one last time of the season.
ReplyDeleteHow's that for fun! All that blue makes me think of summer as long, long ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to keep summer going as long as possible!!
ReplyDeleteThe pools here closed up about 6 weeks ago. Even if you allow for the length of time it took for me to get here and see this!
