Pool Days

Summer in Kandern usually means lots of time at the pool. We're lucky in that there is a great park there, season tickets are cheap, and the pool is beautiful and, typical of all things German, very clean.

Jackie has learned to go off the high board, though not diving yet from that height, and loves this long water slide - here she's just at the top ready to go!! Given that there's little else to do in this small town in summer (OK, lots of hiking and biking opportunities, and a nice ice cream shop, but that's about it), Jackie is almost never alone at the pool - all her friends are there too. So it's a great place to cool down on a hot day.

But I have to admit it's not West Hawk Lake, or Grand Beach. There just are no natural water features around here except rivers and streams. Manitoba does have some great things going for it!
