Pool days

July 22, 2009 by tina.

My girls wanted me to take them to the pool today. So we went down to city hall and got ourselves a punch card and off we went. Now, being a “country” kid, I didn’t spend all day everyday at the city pool like my husband did over the summer. He became a fish at a very early age even though he never had even one swimming lesson. He started each school year browned and water logged. I, however, took swimming lessons from several of the Lee siblings and never got to be that comfortable in the water. I can swim but I still REALLY hate water up my nose. Fortunately, our children have the best of both worlds. We force them into swimming lessons, that they really do like, and we spend a lot of time at bodies of water so they are very comfortable-in the river, the city pool and any hotel pool they can get their feet in. Today my young fishes swam across and back to prove they were worthy of the diving board and I sat on the grass and beamed like the proud parent I was. Yet another thing my kids have accomplished with little to no help from me! Isn’t it awesome, a little sad, but still awesome when they don’t really need you but still like to have you there?
