Swimming!

On Saturday I was dying for something fun to do- something different- and I stumbled upon this pool in Provo. It just happened to be the last day it was open too. But it was way cheap, and the kids had a TOTAL blast. I hesitated to take them all on my own, but I kept thinking about how Raquel used to take her Day Care kids swimming all the time, and I thought I would try it. At the last minute I thought of calling Heidi (even though we were already planning on seeing her later in the evening), and left a message for her to come join us. Luckily she showed up! But we all had such a good time!! Thanks again Heidi for coming- the kids love you!

Luke was an animal- we had such a hard time keeping our eyes on him- he was all over the place. He has so much fun in the water, I can't believe it! And he's SO FEARLESS. I always think of those kids I taught in swimming lessons that wouldn't even set foot in the water, or were too scared to put their faces in..... NOT LUKE!


Bradley loved the pool .... he's a little smarter about making sure he knows where I am - but he was hard to keep track of as well.


Here's bradley at the top of the slide... I couldn't believe how quickly they tried the slide- I thought for sure they would have to think about it first... guess I don't know my kids as well as I thought I did.


The girls were just hard to get pictures of :) they LOVED this place and couldn't stop moving.


I didn't get one of Kelly in the water, but she's just a little fishy too. Heidi got a kick out of how messed up Kelly's hair was the ENTIRE time, and no matter how hard they tried to fix it it just kept going funny.




This was our attempt to get a picture of EVERYONE together :) Maybe next time we'll just ask someone to take it for us :) Course I don't mind my face being all that you can see of me in a swimsuit :) Noah had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE!!! He was kicking and splashing the whole time, and just couldn't stop watching all the kids and people around him. He also found his voice while we were there. He started doing this weird yelling/growling thing I think out of excitement, but he's been doing it ever since :) It's pretty cute though. I love it when they discover new things like that.


This is one Bradley took- I had to bribe him to get in the previous picture- he really likes using the camera.

an abstract one that Brad took


My kids have the hardest time with the whole- get out of the water so the lifeguards can test it and take a break time. Cracks me up how stressed out they get about whether they will be able to get back in and when..... crazy kids.


And I have to say that I just LOVE this picture- I think it's the funniest thing ever. There are just too many things wrong in this picture to not love it :) (maybe we should have let bradley take a potty break before :) lol)


Just trying to pretend like Summer's not over yet I guess :) Fun was had by all, Saturdays are the best!
