The Grand Canyon Adventure - part 3

Have you ever walked into a hotel and smelled the smell of chlorine from the pool. When Joey was a little boy, he would walk into any hotel that had a pool and say, "Ahhhh, the sweet smell of a hotel." What he was really smelling, of course was the pool. One of Andy and Joey's favorite things to do is swim. So when they stopped to spend the night at a hotel in Springfield, MO that had a small pool, they put on their suits to test the water.

Joey's dad also likes to swim, if you can call it that. They did not really swim. Joey's dad picked him up out of the water and threw him back in. They did this alot. There was water splashing everywhere. At this pool, there was a little boy standing outside the pool area behind a glass door. At first, he was trying to open the door. The door was locked. He tried and tried, but it would not open, so he decided he would just stand and watch what was going on. Joey and his dad decided to put on a show for him. Joey's dad would pick him up and then Joey would wave at the little boy. Then Joey's dad would throw him in the water. The boy would smile really big. He was probably thinking that he would love to come play!
