I Love The West

One thing I'm really liking out here is that lack of silly rules. We have gone to a couple parks in our area and went swimming. Back in Virginia, there were always a long list of very restrictive rules. No floats, no running, no goofing, no diving, no jumping except in the designated area. I even got yelled it once for using a pink ball. I'm serious. The lifeguard told me that pink balls were not permitted due to some lifegaurd signals.

Out here, use floats, run and dive, bring your dog, swim with your dog, and yes, use balls of any color.
