Wipeout …
… at the Chinquapin pool. This was a first for Alexandria and I hope not the last. We were there early and managed to be the first on the obstacle course.

Even when it was “crowded” the line was not too long and moved pretty quickly.

We had a blast, as is evident in the photos.

There might be a minor injury or two if there were older kids there — but the adults were mostly well behaved.

Robert tried several techniques — first we went under the “barrel” obstacle by swimming across the opening — while that may be technically illegal, it was fun and effecient.

The traditional approach was over the “barrels” in the middle of course.

Robert tried going around the side on his final, final, final, final run and said that was actually faster. At least as long as no one else was on the course at the same time to bounce him off.

Adults clearly had an advantage in the bouncing off department, but the “barrels” didn’t really support full adult weight very well, which made them a little harder for adults to get across.

If they do this again, we’ll be there to enjoy the fun. It was well worth it and a great way to work off some of the excess, but tasty, holiday treats.
