Every summer we meet my cousins and their children at the Scottsbluff pool. They have “the slide of envy” – the name I have given the slide. Emersyn was not tall enough until she was 8. My cousins’ children are tall, therefore, have an advantage to reach the “slide of envy” early.

Eleri is still too short this summer – maybe next summer?!?

We didn’t make it to the pool as much this summer. The first time we arrived, paid (not cheap), changed and jumped into the pool. Within five minutes, a storm blew in from nowhere and our pool time was over. We only made it to the pool one other time during this summer trip to Nebraska.
