Swim Party!

We always enjoy getting to celebrate Tad’s best friend Danny’s birthday.  The last several years, it’s been a swimming party, and the last two have been held at the Snohomish Aquatic Center – which is huge and has lots of things to do (like an entire playground in the wading pool).

The Webmaster got in the pool with the kids this year (I’ve done it for the last several years), but Ane was a HUGE help when it came to helping Thumper “swim.”  He loves water, and the wading/play area is great, but he loved going around and around in the Lazy River, too.

The water at the pool was not nearly as warm as the water at our regular pool.  Poor Thumper came out shivering multiple times, would dry off and warm up, and then demand to go back in.  By the end of the party, I found Tad chilling out in the hot tub.

He now wants a hot tub of his own.

And Rerun’s swimming skills have greatly improved in a year, but he still feels ambitious beyond his skill set.  He discovered that wearing a life vest would give him the floatation he needed to go into deeper parts of the pool.

Goofy kid.

They all slept well last night!
