The coolest place in town...

As part of a swap for Swap-bot, my mission was to photograph my Despicable Me minion somewhere in town. My daughter and son both agreed that the coolest place in town was the flow rider at the Surf 'n Slide.

My son, a lifeguard there, took these awesome pictures of the minion enjoying himself on the last day of swim lessons--which is a free day of fun for all swim lesson swimmers!

The minion gives a big thumbs up to the flowrider! Doesn't he look jaunty in his swim cap and googles?

Hanging out beneath the water slides!

The view is so much better from the top!!

Waiting to take the plunge down the water slide...

The rules state you have to be able to swim 50 meters without stopping before you can go off the diving board...anyone care to waive that requirement for a guy who excels at floating?

The minion getting a little big for his britches--sorry guy, only trained, on duty lifeguards are allowed to sit here! (Moses Lake in the background.)

The lazy river looks mighty inviting to the lifeguard impostor...

This is better--he really didn't enjoy the lifeguard duties anyway!

Woohoo, now this is living!

Goodbye, little minion! I hope you remembered to apply sunscreen!

Not the coolest place in town...

Since I'm a "just in case" sort of person, I did photograph the minion hanging out in our backyard before sending him on an adventure to the water park with my son. Here he is...
