Swimming, swimming, swimming...

Last night, Dave came up with a fun idea of taking us all out to the Ogden Athletic Club to go swimming... We called them to see what time they are opened till (called at 8 pm) and they said they closed at 9... and figured/hoping they will just let us in for the last hour for free... nope... they want 20 smackaroos just to get ME, ELLA, and COLEMAN in for an hour... so not worth it. So after telling Ella the disappointing news that we were not going... she bawled. I knew this was coming. She was all ready to go in her swimsuit... I felt bad too... so I came up with a brilliant idea that she and Coleman can pretend that the bathtub is the pool and that they can wear their swimsuits in it! They liked that idea. Nice, warm bath to play in and they played and played till they are ready to get out. I can't wait for summer to come... so that they can go play in the Splash Pad for FREE!Sorry for the crappy picture quality... it was off of my phone... can't ditch the kids in the tub just to get the camera right?? Everytime they sees the camera... both of them will say "Cheese... Cheese... Cheese..." and not look at the camera... this is the best shot out of 3. Ah kids...
