Trip to Aquatic Center - pool and more...

Hatcher has been asking about going swimming again as of late (having swim lesson withdrawl of course!) and with the Aquatic Center opening their outdoor play area this past weekend, we told the kids we would take them. It wasn't too crowded, but there was a line most of the afternoon to get in. The county did a great job of providing something for everyone. After coating everyone with 55+ sunscreen and packing the towels and water, off we went the long 2 mile drive (it is literally down the street from us) to the newest addition to our local recreational complex...the "mini-water park." We stayed for about an hour and Hatcher had a blast. Derek went down one of the slides and said it was worth the 15 minute wait - considering we didn't have to drive an hour to the official water park. Aidan absolutely loved it too! He kept trying to scoot further and further into the zero entry (beach like) water pool. Splashing and kicking...he couldn't get enough!
