We Love to Swim!

Yesterday Amanda and Paige came to my house to go swimming:) The kids get so excited when they find out that we are going to the pool! Even though swimming has been our #1 activity this summer, they still love to go! We met around 10:00, our usual time. It was a little cloudy today, but still very hot. . . even the water was a little warm:( The kids are always hungry, so we ate lunch about 11:30. . . then back to water for some more fun!
This afternoon was a little different, because we had a little incident that left us all a little freaked out! Our subdivision has two pools. . . they are gated and locked. . . you must have an entry card to get in. . . but today we had some visitors. First i want to mention that it was Amanda, Paige, and myself. . .plus our 7 kids at the pool all by ourselves! These two young guys came up to the gate and wanted us to let them in the pool:( We explained it was against neighborhood rules to let them in. . .they kept on asking. . . they said they only wanted to jump in then get out. . .yeah RIGHT. . . they stood at the gate and stared at us for about 15 minutes before another woman from my neighborhood walked from her house to the pool. We were sure they would just follow her in. . . they asked her if they could be her guests. . . she said no several times before entering the pool to come join us. . . again for about 15 or so minutes they stood and stared at us. . . finally they rode off up the street. . . we never saw them again. It was a little scary. . .even with the fence because we looked like caged in animals. . .we had no where to go. After they rode off, the woman, Leann went into the model house and talked with one of the agents. They called the police to come patrol the pools and neighborhood! What a day!
All in all we had a fun time! We love getting our kids together to swim and have a good time. It is also fun for the adults. . . you can never have too much girl time when you are a stay at home mom:) Thanks girls. . . we will do it again soon. . .this time no drama!
