My Dears,
We have a fabulous new rainy day Seattle hangout for the bambino. The only problem is that it's technically not in Seattle.
It's the Mountlake Terrace Pool, about 15 minutes north of Seattle.
They have an area that is exclusively for babies and toddlers: the floor of the pool is padded, not rough like most pools, and the depths range from six inches to about two feet. They have float-y things, toys, pool noodles and water features that blow bubbles and rain down water droplets.
It's a baby pool heaven.
I have never seen Ben laugh so hard. And he is a baby that laughs a lot.
The pool is also warmer than most, so the bambino didn't get cold.
There is also an area that is a 'river' with a current although we didn't make it over to that part.
Even better, it's only $2 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3-4 pm. We went during that time today and other than our group of five moms/babies, there were one or two other parents there with their children. So not crowded at all.
We are going back for sure.
