It was very hot that day and I decided to check out the Bremerton waterfront, where there are many fountains that supposedly kids can play in. I should mention here that there was a woman in her 50's in the fountain when we got there. She didn't even look like a Walmart person. Anyway, I wanted to check it out first before actually changing them into suits. But of course I forgot towels and suits. Since they had their swim shoes on, I did let them sit on the ledge of another fountain and stick their legs in. Of course I had to take their pants off when we got to the van.

Now the other important thing to do during my day was to stop and get milk. I didn't want to drive all the way home to change them, get them back in the car, and go all the way back in the direction I came from to get milk.
A person with toddler twins or young children will understand this. I had a weak moment. I couldn't deal with going all the way home, so I said, "screw it." And through process of elimination, I decided that Walmart would be the best place to bring my kids in their diapers. People at Walmart already expect to see this.
Amelia was in a shirt and diaper in the back of the double stroller, so you can't really see her, right? (wink, wink.)
Evan had on a onesie and no shorts, which is a little weird to see barefoot long legs hanging out the front of the stroller. (Yes, didn't you know Carter's makes onesies up to size 6X?)
So I fast walked in the door, got the milk, and then decided, well heck I'm in here, might as well get the Tide. It was at this point that I remembered the People of Walmart website and got really nervous. Looking around, I did see a very, very large woman in overalls, so I prayed that she would end up on the site if anyone were to at that moment. I then booked it out of there and checked myself out through the self-check lane.
I just checked the website and luckily we weren't on there. Lesson learned!
