Dickson Pool

Trundled over to Dickson Pool with friends - Jase, Abby & Zoe and Al, Rob, Max & Mira. The day started out quite warm (well for Canberra that is) but by mid afternoon it was overcast with a light breeze.

Dickson Pool is an outdoor pool with loads of nice grass and shady trees as well as three differing depth pools as well as a water play area. We spent most of our time in the mid depth pool (Katy can almost touch the bottom at the deepest part). Ella as per normal spent most of the time under water while Katy, Abby and Zoe were a little more cautious.

Soon the little ones began to shiver so we opted for warmth of the towels and renewed their energy levels with food. It wasn't long before they all headed off to the water play area. The best part was a series of water fountains evenly spaced to make a tunnel which was perfect to run through. This tunnel however would randomly come on and off which meant they would all stand and shiver while waiting, then run and squeal with laughter when the fountains eventually came on - meanwhile there wasn't the usually high level of adult intervention or assistance required so we got to relax, chat and observe!
