Swimming!

This week we got a membership to the pool, and it's been so fun! Rylee LOVES it and asks about going swimming every morning shortly after she wakes up. The Lehi pool is great for families; there are 3 playground areas for kiddos, a lazy river, and a big water slide - you know, the kind the big twisty tube kind that they have at water parks. Since it's in Utah, it's mostly indoors so that it can be used year round, but it has a retractable roof so that two of the play areas and half of the lazy river wind up being outdoors in the summer.These bungee swing things are meant for babies, but Rylee likes them too (:
Cailyn loves bouncing and spinning in them!
Rylee loves playing all over the place! She goes up and down the slides, through the tunnels, and anyplace else she can. She also loves jumping into the water and being caught.



There has only been one bad experience for Rylee at the pool. One of the playground things has a huge bucket on top that fills up with water and dumps when it gets full. (I don't have a picture of this piece of playground equipment - I figure the less time I spend with my camera in the water, the better.) Anyway, Rylee was climbing the stairs to get on the slide and was almost to the top when the bucket dumped! I was sitting at the bottom of the slide waiting for her, but she didn't know where I was. She clung onto a pole for dear life and started crying and screaming "Mommy! Mommy!" until I was able to get to her (which probably took me at least 30 seconds - it's a pretty big play structure.) But, she has since recovered and still loves swimming!
