Swimming

Yesterday the kids and I went to the Slater Pool after I worked. We were even able to go over for awhile in the evening. Christopher's favorite is the diving board. He has already made good friends with the Life Guards. Beth enjoys the board, slide, but mostly just swimming around.
Today, we went to the Aquatic Center in West Des Moines with Kim, Ben and the girls. They have 6 slides 2 for tubes, lazy river, fun kids area and diving board. Both of my kids are at a great age where they enjoy playing in the kiddy area with Ben, but also can swim in the deep water. I didn't have to work so we were there for about 4 hours so I think we got our money worth. They both seem ready for bed, even Christopher just yawned a hug yawn.
Keith has begun to get the areas around our house and trees ready for wood chips. He thinks this will help our yard look better and save him time mowing. I agree that both happened when we did the swing set and flower bed. Now if I could just cover parts of our house so it wouldn't get cluttered and save me time cleaning.
