It's effin hot again. Beach or pool?

[Deleted]

I love the beach but with a baby it's so damn hard what with all the sand in every fat roll and eating it and whatnot.

The local pool has a great toddler/baby pool but that also means dealing with all the ferals who will be there on a Sunday afternoon. And I will probably have to go on the 3-storey slide with DS1 which I hate.

What do you prefer? if you had summer right now.

Andrew goes apeshit for a splash pad/baby pool. With him, I'd go pool. Without him, beach. I'd need a beverage and/or surfboard though...

POOL. I wouldn't want to deal with eating sand and then rubbing his eyes, etc. The pool is much easier.
I can't believe it's so hot there! That sucks

[muppetinma]

Where in OZ are you again? That might change my mind.

Pool; but I've read that putting baby powder on a sandy baby makes the sand much easier to get off.

We're in Adelaide, so the beaches here are pretty calm as they're in a bay type thing. No waves.
Baby powder Dorothy!! I've not heard of this. Will try.

It's only 96 degrees right now, *only* but it sure beats 115 of last week. More heatwave to come next week. Fun.

Pools are where it's at. That's always my preference.

I would trade weather with you right now. I hate being cold! Hit the beach!

Well, SCORE. DH is taking both kids to the beach, along with the neighbour kids + their Dad, and he can deal with the sand in cracks. I get to stay home in a/c & peace and quiet. I'm actually going to read my book with no one harassing me.

:Y: :Y:

Uh oh. You know you'll have to put out, right?





Probably worth it, though.

Woo hoo! A few hours alone is totally worth putting out over, though.

Yeah, this. But when it's that hot I'd really rather just be indoors in AC. I also don't want to have to put a swim suit on. Ugh. Glad you got out of it!

[laurack]

I would put out for an afternoon of reading alone.

Also, I hate you for having this decision to make at all. Brrrrrr. The other day when walking for my train it was 7 degrees out. That's like... -15c or something ridiculous. Now it's warmed up to 27 and is snowing.

This. Minus the surfboard because I was a disaster the one time I tried. I agree that the beach with little ones is difficult.

[Regina Philange]

I love both!!!

A loves the beach. When we went last week, he was in heaven. But we have a pool at home so for hot days, we tend to do that as its so much easier. In fsct, that's the plan for this afternoon! And also, with the pool, our fridge with cold moscato is only 2 steps away!

This sounds divine. I'm so jealous of those that live on islands. I wish I were born on one.
