Indoor pool and travel plans

I just love having an indoor pool at our convenience. The gym we are members to puts a huge bubble over 4 of the five pools for the winter. It is nice to be able to take the kids there. I didn't go in this time, but was able to take the camera. I really liked some of the different angles I captured.

Also on another note, providing I can get three seats on the same plane, the girls and I will be heading to Illinois for spring break... Way exotic right? Well, lets just say it is a HUGE trip for me. From the time we get picked up at the airport until they drop us back off at the airport, I am pretty much free of children. They are either getting the full attention of Grandad and Maw Maw, Aunt Kimmy, mom's(Nana) daycare kids, or her full attention, or Auntie Foph and Uncle Jon, or even Great Aunt Angie and Uncle Mick. I LOVE it. I will be getting my hair cut, gray coverage and highlighted and I don't even have to pay a babysitter...Whaoooo! Of course, one of the best parts, when they wake up at oh, the crack of dawn, they just yell for Nana and I get to lay in bed for as long as I want.. Oh and not to mention the 24 hour adult conversation time.. It is the little things in life that make it good!

Oh back to the pictures. There are MANY, but still MANY I didn't post.
This is a beach entry pool that is for the kiddos. Only 18"deep. She kept walking through the water spouts to try and stop the flow.


I love to photograph her little feet
water spouts

Madison has learned to go under water now. She is becoming more and more independent in the water.




Cait LOVES to be balanced up in the air. The higher the better. She is really good at staying tight too.


more spout walking
taking a breather on the side step

I caught her just as she was going under. that is the funny look, but I still like the photo.

Swimming looks like LOTS of fun! I need to join a damn pool already! :)

I am excited for you to get a nice long vacation back home. There is really nothing quite so wonderful!

I can't wait to see you, the head, and the face!!! I was just saying to my friend at work that I can't wait until summer so I can talk to you every day like I did on maternity leave! Only 49 more school days (oh yes, you know I am counting-soon it will be down to the hours!!!). Be safe on your way home!
