Luce’s Day at the Pool
Luce attended the “Parks & Rex Event” at Simkins Family Swim Center. It is a fund raising event to benefit local kids and shelter animals. We signed Luce up for 15 minutes in the warm water pools. He really liked the shallow kiddy pool with the water fountains as he could drink all he wanted like here:
It was fun for him and apparently people there wanted to take pictures of our “Cane Bellessimo”:
Here is a video of Luce splashing around with Stacey:
