Swimming

Today, we took the kids swimming. Jarel had been working all day on the shelves for our basement, and the kids and I were somewhat of help to him. Jarel had one more room to do, but it was 2:00 and we wanted to get out of the house. We thought of things to do, but being cold outside, we decided to take them to the local swim center. They had such a fun time. This time we put Kali in a life vest! Kali and Tyler loved going on the lazy river and into the whirlpool. They would laugh as we were going around the whirlpool. Makena even got brave this time and with Dad's help (along with Hailey) went into the lazy river. Tyler loved going down the slide and throwing a ball in the pool. Kali loved the slide, jumping off the edge into the pool and loved the "big pool." Makena is so content to stay in the shallow area and play. She loved going low into the water, just up to her mouth! Hailey loved the pool. A huge warm bathtub for her. She was kicking, cooing, and splashing with her little hands. So cute to watch. Poor girl didn't even get a swimsuit to wear. We were in a hurry to go and I had her swimsuit somewhere downstairs but couldn't find it. So she got a onsie and plastic swim diaper. We had such a good time, but only got to swim for about an hour because they had to close the pool because someone had a major accident in the pool. I'm glad we were in the kiddie pool at that time and wasn't around it. They gave us a free pass to go back. The kids were excited about that!
