Swimming fun..........bad MOM

So today was half price swim day at the pools here in Lehi. I have been promising my kids we would go, so today was the day. My kids love to swim and love water. We went to the outdoor one this time, they have 2 pool here in Lehi. Anyway we got to the pool at about 2pm, and stayed until 7pm. It was a long day but so much fun. We meet Debbie and her kids there and that's always fun to have someone (adult wise) go with you. About half way through the day Hunter found that he could reach a little farther out then the stairs and got really daring. By the time we left he was putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles. The funny part was trying to get him to kick his legs. He didn't understand what I was saying and would run along the bottom of the pool. He thought he was kicking and was so proud of himself, I didn't have the heart to tell him that's not how you do it!

So, onto the bad mom part. My kids are so different in skin tones that I forgot to re-apply sun screen. Hunter has really olive skin. Its about a shade liter the McKenzie's if any of you remember how dark she gets. I put 60 proof sun screen on him when we got there and then never thought about it again. BAD MOM. Brock on the other hand is really fair skinned, which is really hard for me. I did re-apply sun screen and hes not so bad, just a good shade of pink.

For those of you that don't live in Utah. Last year we had a break out of crypotsperidium ( i am guessing on the spelling) in our public pools. This was caused by basically poop in the pools. So this year the head that be have decided to make all kids, 3 and under, wear little swimmer diapers, plus plastic pants over that, then there swimming trunks. I think, OK why not if it helps, beats spending 2 weeks with a sick kid. So we get to the pool and every hour and a half they make everyone get out of the pool for 15 min. Why you ask, for a bathroom break. This is the time in which parents are to take there little ones and get them changed or to a toilet. I thought it was really funny because no one with small children seemed to go into the bathroom. So it makes one wonder if its really going to help!!! I guess that's the down side of public pools.
