Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

0 Great day to go to the pool, well not really

The forecast said sun, so my neighbor Teresa & I took out kids to the Logan aquatic center Tuesday. The dark clouds didn't scare us off, but maybe they should have. Instead of being mid-70's &sun it was 63 degrees & rain. Good thing the water was warm. I didn't get any picture of our 2 1/2 hr swim since it was too cold to get out.

We did learn there are bonuses to going to the pool on a rainy day. We practically had the entire place to ourselves so it was easy to keep track of the kids who didn't want to get out and run around.

My girls had a great time! Within about 5 seconds of getting to the pool Allie was going completely under the water, even opening her eyes...on purpose! What a welcome change from her anxiety last year. It was her idea to go on the waterslide, but I only let her go once...it was TOO COLD to climb the staircase, regardless of no line. Although she loved the slide, her favorite part was the 'mushroom' shower. What a water bug! Kylie also was crazy about the water. She kicked &splashed, giggled & grinned.

Oh, if you haven't heard, there is a new law in Utah in response to last years crypto outbreak. Children under 3 must wear not only a disposable swim diaper, but a reusable plastic waterproof swim pant such as these. Somehow I HADN'T heard this and wasn't prepared. The pool did have a FEW for sale, $8/piece, but I'd shop around if you plan on going to a pool with your young children.
