Swimmin' with my fishy

Last night was our first Tot 1 swimming lesson at the Juniper Aquatic Center in Bend. Other than the size of the parking lot, the pool is just as I remember it. And it was just as crowded as the Redmond pool, so I guess it doesn't matter when and where you want to swim. The pool will be full.

Sabrina and I arrived late because we were at Michael's buying scrapbooking stuff, and it took forever to get across town. I was already in my suit, so we whipped the girls into their swim diapers, threw on their suits, and raced out to join our group. There are 8-10 babies in the class.

Krysta was there, but luckily for us, Rylee and co. were sick with the flu, and had decided to stay home. Normally the Samples infect us all with their commonly sicky germs, so we are glad they stayed home to recoup.

Anyway, Swimming was fun! The pool was maybe waist deep, so the mama's were on our knees the whole time, but other than that, it was a blast. Morgan was clingy at first, but eventually warmed up, and started kicking and splashing. I even got her on her back, although her legs stayed at a 45, which wouldn't be ideal if you were trying to swim. But it was fun. We really didn't do anything that I wouldn't have probably done had I been on my own, but we sang a few songs and splashed around and hummed in the water etc., and it was a good time.

On Thursday we are going to go to Munch 'N Music after we swim. There will be a live band down at Drake Park, so we'll get a blanket and a picnic, and listen to the music, eat some dinner, and watch the girls dance. That should be fun. Swimming lessons are every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:20-5:55 through the first week in August. What a great way to spend our summer! Every Thursday we'll go down to the park, and maybe on a Tuesday here and there, daddy will swim. It should be fun!
