Indoor Swimming Pool

For years, the boys have loved the indoor swimming pool that Grammy started taking them to in their hometown. It's not too far away, about 30 minutes on the interstate, but in cold weather or around the holidays, the drive can easily turn into something more.

We've watched with eager anticipation as our side of town finally saw the plans for a new YMCA come out of the ground. It's been years of planning and fundraising, but it was completed in October of this year. And because Daddy is a firefighter, we get a family rate that's reasonable.

So the boys have a new indoor swimming pool that's just a few minutes from our house. We had to take the swim test, which was interesting to say the least. Connor and Xander passed with flying colors. Sawyer can swim, of course, but following a lifeguard's instructions, well that's another story. So he passed with a slightly lower level, but is still allowed on the slide (which is all any of the boys really care about anyway).

Our first day enjoying the new indoor pool ...

Still happy ...
