Just returned from an extremely short walk with my hair plastered to my head. Thanks humidity! I think hubs is up, so I will take a shower.
But first, I received a text from our older son. The family loves their second home in the country, but needed something else for the kids to keep busy without camp this summer. They are both back at figure skating and ice hockey practices by the way.
So my daughter-in-law found a pool club with three different pools which practices social distancing and all the necessary safety measures. It appears that they have the complex to themselves. 
. That relaxes me a bit.

Your grandchildren look happy in that picture and that pool in the background certainly looks inviting. It's great that your DIL found a pool club that will offer the kids a place to swim with all the social distancing requirements.

@DianneN we belonged to a swim club when I was growing up and my brother and I would swim all day. We slept like rocks at night.

i wonder right now about the impact. I hear school district after school district say that they are only doing 1/2 days of school 3 days a week and the rest virtual.
We may end up years behind.

@DocAndersen That was a huge problem in NYC public schools. 1,200,000+ students and not enough computers to go around. Many of the poor kids didn't even have WiFi.

I don't know what's happening in NYC right now.
My grandson goes to a private school which did a fine job online.
My granddaughter attended public school, but was accepted to a private online school in the gifted program and worked her head off. I think my DIL and son are looking into the Stanford University online program for her. We will see.
Personally, I don't want them back in school until this virus is long gone.

@DianneN i don't either, I just worry about the kids that don't have access to the internet or computers.

@DianneN I am sure they are not too bad at home. 
But this will help keep them busy.

Its a beautiful photo and glad to see brother and sister together. Most of kids didn't go anywhere because of this pandemic so its great that at their place still things are OK and people can visit pool. Its a good and relaxing place for them as they can enjoy there.

Happy, adorable siblings! That's nice they were able to locate a safe pool for the kids to have fun and beat the heat. Oh and the first thing that caught my eye was that natural little model, your Ice Princess
Cool pose!

6'5" is a wow! I would look as if I were screwed into the floor if I stood next to your brother.

No summer is complete without at least one trip to a swimming pool. Glad they found something for the kids to do this summer. It must be nice having the whole place to yourself!

@DianneN Oh yes, sibling rivalry and infighting. I remember it well with my own brother.

Mr. Hockey's hair is almost as long as Horse Jr.'s! How old is he now? Horse Jr. has started coming over to my house with a brush. "Grooming," he demands. Apparently I am more gentle at it than his mom. I give my college girlfriend and my horse credit. Yes, I do braids.

@kobesbuddy Glad it worked! Our grandson is his own person. He's extremely gifted like Einstein, and the kids pick their battles carefully. It's only hair, and when and if he's ready, he will have it cut. Right now, all his friends copy him. So cute.

@DianneN My son is quite short, probably about 5'7" and at one time, his hair was down to his waist! Just to be arrogant Chad remarked, 'I think I'll let my hair grown even longer!' It was directed at me, his mother. I responded in a cocky voice, 'Hey, I think that's a good idea, it would look great!' Not even a week later, Chad was wearing a handsome, stylish haircut!
