Poop in the pool!

While away at my cousin's gorgeous wedding this weekend we decided to take the kids for a dip in the hotel pool. We were staying at a nice Hilton Garden Inn near the beach, and the pool area was extremely clean and inviting....that is, until we arrived.

Olivia and Dylan were doing a great job swimming with us. I was playing with Olivia near the steps when I saw something float out of the bottom of her diaper. Being that my kids have been through that whole ISR training, I have been brainwashed that pooping in the pool=shocking the pool, which i hear is quite an undertaking. Assuming that what I saw 'escaping' from her bathing suit was poop, I snatched her up and tried to throw her out of the pool. Unfortunately, for us all, a huge tidal wave beat me to it and the pool was officially contaminated.

John and I tried to creatively clean out the mess, but just couldn't without a net. So, I did what any good parent would do and told the front desk that someone else's kid must have pooped in the pool....and, that they need to clean it out ASAP! (Dylan told everyone within a 5 mile radius what had REALLY happened, so I am assuming that I didn't get away with my white lie.)
