Fun at the Pool

They just built a new Community Center right behind our house and it is beautifully done inside and out. It has a gym with a playroom, a game room, banquet rooms, etc . I tried out the gym, but Lainey won't go near the playroom unless I am with her. It makes it difficult to actually get any sort of work out in. You should have seen how many times I had to walk her back into the room, it was a joke! Anyway, our favorite part of the new center definitely has to be the two swimming pools. We are so lucky that it is a hop skip and a jump from our own backyard (albeit big ones). I wasn't really thinking and didn't take a picture of the actual Community Center, but I did get the most important ones:



The small toddler pool:

At first Lainey was a little scared, but that didn't last long!

She LOVED jumping in the pool. She loved it so much that she jumped in when Andy was playing with Ethan. I was sitting on the edge catching some rays (the pool water is still WAY too cold for me). Sure enough, I jumped on in after her in my shorts :). Andy giggled about it because she did have floaties on and he was only about 10 feet away, but still, it freaked me out. She swallowed a bit of water and was fine, but I am not sure I was... She is such a daring little thing!

We had a great afternoon at the pool even though it was a bit chilly!

So fun! We miss our pool in Tucson. And just so you know, I did not laugh at you for jumping in after Lainey...been there, done that!! Being at the pool with your kids can take years off of your life. Enjoy!

We need it a little warmer here so we can enjoy the pool. 60's just aren't cutting it for me!
