Today was a big day! It was Chase and Owen's first day at the swimming pool! I've been dying to take them, as I basically grew up at the swimming pool. I got everything ready-2 swim diapers, 2 swim trunks, 4 towels, outfits for after swimming, extra diapers, extra clothes, etc. and we were off. They LOVED it! I had Chase and walked into the swim area and he just began bouncing up and down and looked around with his eyes wide open. There were tons of kids and it was really loud, not to mention very warm. Owen and Jeff came out about 5 minutes later and Owen had an expression of awe on his face. We took them to the kiddie area where the water is very shallow, they have a little slide and toys that shoot water. We got in and they were able to stand in the water and we put them on their backs and tummies. Owen had a ball, he laughed, splashed with his hands, smiled and just took to the water right away. There was a water feature that allowed the water to fall like a waterfall. He LOVED it! Stuck his hand in and kept getting his face closer until he got water on his face. He didn't seem to mind. Chase is a little more reserved about new things. He looked around at all the people and smiled at a lot of the kids (he's the charmer). He may have been more interested in the people than the water. He laughed and smiled and had a good time too. He was a little nervous to be on his back, but allowed me to move him through the water like that for a little bit. He got some water in his mouth and coughed a bit. Overall it was a great experience. Jeff and I had a lot of fun, too. It felt good to get out of the cold and enjoy a little bit of summer. Can't wait for summer, by the way. Too bad it's like 5 months away . . .
