Broadmead Swim Club

This is the swim club, owned by Princeton University, where we are members. It's great because it is practically in our back yard. The kids are lined up with some of their friends as they are getting ready to jump into the water together. There are a couple more friends that you can't see. Just recently, the kids filled a beach ball with water and named it "Blubby." I was present on the day that they finished filling it. It took five and a half hours to fill it over a two day period. I learned that when it was half full, they carried it to the woods near the pool and hid it so they could pick it up the next day and finish filling it. I asked them what they planned to do with it now that it was full and they told me they were going to roll it home. NOT! So they left it and other kids played with it after we left. Today, the kids received a text from their friend who was already at the pool, telling them that "Blubby" was alive and to bring tape to patch a small leak. That's the last that I heard about "Blubby." I just checked with the kids and learned that "Blubby" is fixed and still at the pool. Story to be continued.
