When you hear
the phrase "Senior Pool Party" thoughts of a social gathering in a
retirement community might pop up. If you know Campus Kids,
you'll know that seniors are an older boys classification.
Nevertheless, by the end, many seniors were prune-y. |
They waited
in anticipation outside the pool. I had gone around to let them
in, and they didn't seem to appreciate the extra three seconds of
waiting while I took a photo. |
|
|
The water was
calm. This was about to change. |
Outfitted in
bathing suits, with towels slung around the banister of the gallery,
campers waited for the whistle from the lifeguards. |
|
|
...which soon
came. |
Noodles
became a quick favorite. |
|
|
Jumping
into the deep end, as well, attracted more daring campers. |
|
|
|
Water
volleyball, too, began in the shallow end. |
|
|
|
Some people
just wanted to jump in a cool pool after a hot day of activities. |
|
|
Music was
provided by Danny... |
...and
Emily, entertainment. |
|
Everyone
else floated (no pun intended) from activity to activity. |
|
|
|
And someone,
lurking beneath the surface, liked playing jokes on people. |
|
|
And those who
prepared were rewarded. |
After a
while, one long whistle signaled the end of the pool party, and people
began clustering around exits. |
|
|
Many thanks
to lifeguards for their careful watch. |
An
understatement. |
