Puppets visit Swimming Pool Story by Puppets and Photos by Emily and Eric

This trip was exciting because we met so many duckies and human friends. The table where we put our towels had a wonderful greeting committee.

Rubber ducks were waiting for us.

They took us immediately to the Life Guard Chair

This tire is to throw in to floundering humans.

Raccoon and I decided we would use the tire to test our balancing skills. We were definitely too small to throw it into the pool to anyone. -Penguin 

It actually does not look lie we are too good at this either.

The next thing on the tour was a pool side dip. Rubber duckies were very excited about this. Here they are giving us tips for a good and safe time. Usually we just jump in any water with a care in the world so we were very attentive. So far this has been very new. Not at all like a lake or pond.

We watched as duckies bounced down closer.

A boy with blue wings came to chat with them.

The boy gently placed rubber duckie into the water.

As we leaned in to get a closer look and a mermaid swam by. We were so so excited. In a city pool !!! Wow!

The boy had placed both rubber ducks in the pool and supplied us with a raft. The concrete was very hot. Usually there is grass or mud or trees around a pond or lake and that keeps our feet from getting burned. It was entirely to hot for penguin so he called fox to come sit with raccoon.

The boy wanted us to jump in.

We were a little nervous because we had seen the mermaid.

And sure enough a humanioid with huge eyes and another mermaid surfaced!

Close-up, what do you think?

Boy explained that we were very wrong. Maybe the summer sun and the hot hot concrete around the pool over heated our furry heads. The mermaid and and monster turned our to be human girls.

And sure enough the flowered "mermaid" has two legs not fishy fins.

POST SCRIPT

Raccoon found the flowered mermaid and just had to see her toes.
