Yesterday, I took the kids to the pool. The winds were kicking up on the way there...Isn't that always the way?! Ugh. It was really hot outside so we went anyway. I figured we'd be freezing with the wind. I had the idea yesterday, because Charles is in charge of his recreation program and they've been going swimming a lot...Why not us?! The kids and I, never do anything. During the day time it's too hot to take them anywhere and in the evening when the sun goes down, I'm at work. So, it was a perfect time to be outside and be happy about it. We got there and the kids were ready to just jump right in. I, on the other hand didn't want to get it in, the water was ice cold. We tried the other side of the "kiddy area" and it was much warmer. We sat there and played in the water fall, then the kids wanted to go down the water slide. Oh great, I thought...There's only one of me and two of them. They can't swim so I'd have to catch them. The lifeguards and I had a really good system going though. Other kids lined up and I waited until my guys were up, then he gave me a little heads up. I went on the other side of the rope and was ready to catch them. It took Brevy forever to come down the long slide, Bones on the other hand shot down like lightening. They must have went down the slide, 40 times over. My shoulders are swore from lifting them up onto the edge of the pool so, they could line up and do it again. It was fun. I packed a lunch for us and we sat there in the wind and ate it. Charles, was in the area and stopped by to see us. We had a good time, it's something we need to do more often. It's so cheap to get in and you could stay there all day if you really wanted to. :) Here's to us...A day in the sun.
