Had a good weekend this weekend. The kids were all pretty wired and bouncing off the walls because of the wonderful snowstorm, so Sunday we did some entertaining. We started the morning baking everyone's favorite cookies and I appointed my kids the official taste testers, since Mommy wasn't allowed to eat any. They loved it.
Brooklyn loves to help me do the dough punching down when we are letting the dough for the buns rise. We decided to cut the baking day short and do a trip into a nearby town for a swim. We had got the kids some quality goggles and we wanted to try them out and see if they really were leakless.
What a great time! I love taking the kids swimming. They enjoy it so much. Cammie just wanted to sit in the hot tub for the first little bit. The hot tub at this pool is shaped like a snail, with the walk way into the deep seated area all slanted down going from shallow to deep. I can sit on one side of the snail curve in the deep end and she can do all her mucking with toys while sitting in a shallow part. She loves it. Muck, muck, muck.
The older kids will entertain themselves by jumping around in the shallow water while the deep end is busier but as soon as the deep end clears, dad or mom need to take them over there so they can jump off the diving board and swing off the swing. Brooklyn would do this herself with her floaty swimsuit on, but she isn't quite strong enough of a swimmer to do it on her own without it. Sydney amazes me that she is such a good little swimming and can confidently do both while swimming on her own. I think she amazes the lifeguards as well.
I can't wait for out next Hawaii trip. Watching these guys swimming now is just awesome, a month with the ocean and swimming pool at their finger tips would just be exceptional.
