Centennial Pool

The public pool in Wilmette that Mommy grew up with has been completely transformed into a Great America/Waterworld extravaganza. Three pools, from kiddie, to bigger kiddie, to adult - with various straight and twisty-twirly slides, fountains, you-name-it. Enough to keep the whole family busy for a day - and well worth the out-of-town entrance price of $13.75 per person (2 and under free).

Quick to try out this newfound toy - a water slide -

Hannah charged up the stairs and down the slide
over and over and over AND over again...
And like any self-respecting woman of her time,
she brought a very cute wardrobe change to make the day perfect.

Ice cream and cheesy-fries with Grandma Alice after a swim
made a perfect ending to a perfect summer morning!

Sharing is fun, see?
