Friday Afternoon at the Pool...

On Friday, we took the girls swimming for the first time at the new pool at the Frisco Athletic Center. It opened Memorial Day weekend…with the cast we hadn’t made it out there yet.

Ashton had a BLAST! This pool has a lazy river, a normal big lagoon type pool, a kiddie play pool, and 2 HUGEand VERY tall water slides. I thought for sure there was no way that Ashton would go down the slides…but she did and she LOVED it.(She is so my child in this sense) She went in the lazy river twice (once with me and once with her daddy), and in the big pool for about 10 minutes. We were there for about an hour and half and the rest of the time was spent on the water slides. The pictures are not great…I had to sit in the shade with Landry…but I wanted to show how high the slides were. One of them is a covered tube slide which is VERY dark once you are inside. She went on it once and quickly decided she preferred the open slide. It was so much fun to watch her and listen to her sqeal in delight!

Landry got to experience the water for about 2 minutes…not long enough to decide if she liked it or not. She was asleep for the first part and when she woke up, we got her in and they closed the kiddie pool. They had problems with the chemicals. We will take her back and try again.

Landry is checking out the water...how cute are those chubby legs?

That pool looks so awesome! I'm really impressed that Ashton went down those slides! Oh, and I might just have to take a small bite of those chubby Lan-Lan legs!!! :)
