Tuesday we kind of took it easy in the morning. The kids played outside, watched a movie, walked the dog with Nate, Charity and Kelly played at their friends' houses... I wasn't feeling real great with my dumb allergies, so I got a little rest. It was very nice.
We had plans to go swimming at the Rec Center, so Nate took the day off so that he could come with us! YAY! That was a very nice relief. I dislike going there by myself with the kids. I was going to have to make Steve come with me or something :). When we got there and really thought about how much it would cost our family to swim, we decided to use the opportunity to get our membership that we have been debating over for the last few months. Our Gold's one is up this month, so we needed to renew anyway, so this worked out. We're SO excited to have a membership and be able to go ANYTIME now. It's going to be fun.
So anyway, we went swimming!! The kids were thrilled! They ALWAYS want to go swimming. Nate and I are not big on the hassle of it, but it's so fun to see their faces when we tell them we're going swimming. Charity and Kelly were off on their own most of the time.... going around and around and around the river. Nate and I had fun watching them get chased by a couple boys.... I can't BELIEVE kids do that at this age! No talking to them of course, just following them around. Weird. Bradley was off with his friend who just happened to be swimming the same time as us! I don't know what they did. I honestly only saw them a few times. Luke, Noah and Erika were my buddies. We had fun in the shallow area together. Erika was brave enough that she played and had fun in the water, but not so much that she drove me crazy like she used to! So that was nice. Noah was the same. He's very cautious in a brave sort of way :). I can tell it's time for him to get some swim lessons, he's READY! Luke was an animal. He was in and out of the shallow area with Daddy. He got to go on the slide a few times with Nate I think, and around the river. He is at an in-between stage if you ask me. Not really big enough to do much, but really ready and willing to! He'll get there soon enough though! Nate and I just watched our zones, we did get a little time to just sit by each other. It's hardly a family outing though :). I think everyone had a good time! I wish I had been brave enough to bring my camera swimming. I think I have a few times and it just stressed me out too much.... not worth the stress. So sorry, just a boring, wordy post :).
We drove out to SL afterward to run a few errands, and picked up some food on the way home. Everyone showered, walked the dog, I even cut everyone's nails and toenails which really made my day :). Oh, the things that make me happy these days!
