Swimming

Wednesday a friend from church came over and spent the day with us.  He and his family are members at the CARC center....the local college's recreation center.  They have a huge indoor pool facility, and during the summers on Wednesdays they have "community day" where guests can go for $5 a person and then children under 18 get free lunch afterwards.  So, since they told us all about it, we decided to go!  The kids had a blast!

I'm sitting here trying to think if it's really so, but I really think this is the first time my kids have been in a swimming pool since last summer (other than Daniel swimming here with his school this past November).  Anyway...they have missed it and Lily girl even swam around in the pool!  Last year she stuck pretty close to the stairs.  And of course Austin had a ball jumping off the side and going under water.  He did have a brief pity party because he was not allowed to stand on the swimming wall in the middle of the pool.  He did NOT understand why the lifeguard was allowed to and he wasn't.  :)  And Daniel had gotten really good at swimming without water wings last summer, but since he hasn't practiced in 7 months he was a little unsure of himself.  We will have to continue working on that a lot this summer.  Anyway...enough babbling...it was a fun day, and we hope to do it again soon!  Thanks Spurrier's for the heads up!  :)
