Hey there, summer weather fans. If you’re not at the pool, you need to get there.

As Glenview residents, we make our way to Flick Park whenever we can, and finally broke even on our pool pass investment last week, after about three weeks of mild temps. This week has been a particularly good week to go, given the string of 90+ degree days. And regular readers of my blog know how much I love people watching - it’s been pretty good! Some day I’m going to grow a pair and get the nerve to ask a few of these women some questions, like, “What in the name of everything holy made you think you could pull off that two piece? Yikes!”

Snark aside, it’s an insta-playdate for my kids most of the time. There’s almost always a friend for each there. Even their friends who are enrolled in camps are at the pool from time to time. (Want to avoid the camp crowds? Head over after 2ish.) As my youngest gets older, the supervision gets a little easier - although now I actually have to pay more attention to my older ones to make sure they are acting like asshats and threatening a pox upon us in the form of a family ban:)

The prices at the concession stand have remained blessedly stable, given the fact prices on everything seem to be skyrocketing. The pools have remained doody-free so far, and the parks grounds look great. (I wish I could say the same for the bathrooms, but to be fair, wet toilet paper on floors just skeeves me out. The floors could quite possibly be clean enough to eat off of, but germaphobe that I am, that’s never going to happen!)

If you’re looking for an easy, breezy afternoon or evening, check out your local pool - or come support ours! We’ll be more than happy to take your $10!
