Lovin' Summer

My kids found their favorite pool... The Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center in Chandler. They have a zero depth play area that is perfect for Mila and Leah and then they have 2 big slides, a lazy river, a toilet bowl (as Carter calls it), and diving boards for bigger kids like Carter. We stayed there until closing on Monday and the kids still weren't ready to leave. Carter was very excited to say that he jumped into water that was 12 feet deep. I told him that the water at the lake was a lot deeper than 12 feet and he jumps into it all of the time. I could tell that he never really thought about how deep the lake was...because he seemed a little shocked when I told him that. I guess we'll see if that affects the way he loves to play at the lake... Maybe I shouldn't have told him that.

Here are pictures of the kids taking a break for a quick snack.

Notice how Carter is not in any of them? I don't think I ever saw him get out the whole day except to go on to the next thing. Even when we were all drying off and were almost ready to leave I was still yelling at him to get out.

Today we spent the day at the Power Ranch Bucket Pool with lots of cousins. The water was kinda cold but nobody seemed to mind. Mila even threw a fit when it was time to get out because she was having so much fun.

We're already planning to go swimming again tomorrow...
