Swimming in the Snow?

On Saturday, in spite of some pretty icy weather and one weather induced cancellation already, we went with some friends to an indoor swimming center for some family fun. A bunch of us got together and rented the whole place for two hours. This is what it looked like outside.

Inside, we had a blast. Amber is loving the kiddy pool with several water features like the mushroom, mist spraying arch, and streams of water.

Krystal was actually brave enough to go under the mushroom and eventually down the waterslide. Although after her first time down the slide we asked if it was fun and she said, "No!" She did go down it several more times.

I barely saw Jared and Clarissa as they were swimming all over the place, going down the slide as often as possible and hanging with their friends.

I for one, enjoyed the "therapy pool" which was warm and the hot tub, which was HOT! About the only time I went in the cold water was to race Chris. Thank goodness no one got a picture of me when I about drowned myself by breathing in water during the race and Chris was nice enough not to rub in that he won.

This may have been one of the best water experiences ever. It had everything necessary for a sucessful family pool time: clean, close bathrooms, water at every depth, water at every temperature, good friends, soothing quiet pools, fun exciting pools, no hoards of people for your child to drown in and never be noticed, and finally...a definate ending time which meant that I didn't have to be the meany by saying it was time to go. Awesome!
