Bring on the swimming

It is hot and humid! Just recently it is the kind of weather where you walk outside and it hits you like WOW it is hot. And I am thinking this is only the beginning. It is going to get much hotter.

The pools in the neighborhood opened during the weekends only in the month of May. Then the day after school is out, they open everyday. So on Sunday after Ladybug's piano recital, we headed over to explore one of the six pools we have access to.

Each home is issued two electronic passes to access the gates at the pool. They are all staffed with life guards except for one that is open longer hours and is a swim at your own risk pool. I have told the kids that we can go to a different pool everyday of the week with six pools and two splash pads.

The kids loved it and I loved it. To be able to get to a pool in under five minutes is fantastic and I foresee us taking advantage of it! The one we went to today had two slides and the kids did them over and over and over. Ladybug has been swimming for 3 years now but Batman just got good last year before the move and I was so excited to see he had not forgotten anything and just took off swimming in the deep end. With two swimmers, it will be a much different experience for me this summer.

So after two and a half hours we closed the pool down and reluctantly headed home to get ready for the last full week of school.
