The Giant Bath Tub

Thursday night was quite the adventure for me and the rents. After my afternoon nap Mommy, Daddy and I headed over to Miss Katherine's house.  I had been there before but this time we went out on to her deck, down the stairs and into her back yard.  That is when I saw the coolest thing m I have ever laid my little baby eyes on.  It was big, like really big, blue, sparkly and wet...it was a
A GIANT Bath Tub!!!
There were even stairs to get in to it! But someone forgot to tell Miss Katherine to put bubbles in it because there were none.  That is when Mommy and Daddy had to explain that we were  getting in to a pool, not a giant bath tub.  I am telling you all, I know Mommy and Daddy know a lot, but as far as I could see, it sure looked like a giant bath tub to me.
Mommy and Daddy changed my diaper to a Nemo diaper and put on some new shorts that Great Aunt Judy got me both my Nemo diapers and shorts (I guess they call them swim trunks) are super special for swimming in Giant bath tubs (or pools).
Here I am all ready for my new adventure and don't be jealous, I worked especially hard for this summer body...and if anyone is wondering...I'm selling tickets to "the gun show" (check out these arms)!
  Once I was geared up, it was into the giant tub...
and I loved every minute...
ok well almost every minute.  I mean, what is an adventure with out a little hiccup or bump in the road right.  Ok I know what you are thinking, do tell, do tell.  
Well, of course it had to do with my parents and lack of baby floaty skills...don't worry, they didn't drop me in the water and try to watch me float, ok well it was a little like that but...ok hold on this is how it went down.
  So, Mommy bought me a baby float, the operative word there is baby FLOAT.  As we were getting in to the water I remember hearing mom say something about wondering if this float is going to , float.  A reasonable thing to wonder... Mommy set the float in to the water and it floated, so Daddy tried setting me in it and it wasn't really staying above the water and doing that floaty thing it was designed for. It was at that exact moment I started yelling and trying to tell them that something did not seem right  and they better figure it out because I REALLY like this whole GIANT TUB thing and I was going to be really ticked if they ruined it for me!  Clearly we were all aware of the non-floating float issue, we just needed to find the solution, well the grown ups needed figure it out..I'm a baby, I mean really, my job was to float, not solve the technical difficulties of baby floats.  
So anyway, thank goodness for Miss Ashely.  She was there with us and owns the same baby float and she thankfully informed my parents that she didn't think the flaot was blown up yet.  So after a quick baby float inspection the little blow up nozzles were found, Daddy blew up the float 
and we were back in business...
As you can see I really enjoyed my float and it did not take me long to just kick back and relax
 I stayed in the giant tub until Mommy and Daddy said we had to get out because my fingers were going to start looking like prunes or raisins (whatever that means) and the only reason for getting out of the giant tub I understood was that the misquotes were starting to come out to play and misquotes are not fun to play with so I was not going to argue about getting out though I am a bit disappointed we don't have a giant tub in our back yard, I can not wait to go back!
