Swimming With the Cousins

All of the kids were so worn out so this outing wasn't as great for some, those that are use to napping-- namely Kade, Clint, and McKylee. Of course they all wanted to go swimming but they just didn't have fun like they would have if they weren't in need of some sleep. Kade was so brave and swam around with just arm floaties in the 3 ft. section. He wasn't about to go anywhere but the baby pool but we talked him into trying it out and then he felt SO big. His life jacket would have been great here. I hadn't been to the Salina pool for. . .???? 12 years maybe? It was such a trip down memory lane to sit and watch the kids and remember when my friends and I would have underwater tea parties on the bottom of the pool. And when we would see how could stand on their hands the longest. Cartwheels off the low dive and eventually off the high dive. We'd lay out on the cement edge 'working on our tan' which always seemed to burn. We had no idea how long we were laying there-- we figured the longer the darker the tan right? Those were fun times.
