Swimming

There is a resort just down the road about a mile that offers locals memberships to use their facilities. In the summer, they have a private beach, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, paddle boats, kayaks, etc. In the winter, they have an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, excercise room, and outdoor skating. We thought about signing the kids up for swimming lessons this winter but for the price of lessons we could get a membership at Ruttger's and take the kids swimming as often as they wanted to go. Well, we don't go as often as they would like to go because I would be swimming every day in the morning, afternoon and evening, but we do manage to go about every-other day. The pool is pretty warm and there is rarely anyone else in the pool with us. The kids have just recently starting wearing their life jackets in the water and it's awesome. They're "swimming" and I don't have to carry them around in the pool. We do have "practice swim" time where they try to swim without their life jackets, but the rest of the time is spent doing stuff like this:

Now that we have a new computer and it's a thousand times faster than our old one, I might be putting on a lot more videos!!
