Tuesday was initially forecast to rain the entire day. What better place to spend our time than at the indoor swimming center in Hartford Vermont?! It ended up being sunny all day long with rain showers in the evening. Nevertheless we still had a fantastic time swimming.
Another cool program out here is the "Passport to Winter Fun", which encourages children to participate in physical activity throughout the winter months. In it you fill out a box whenever you are active for at least sixty minutes; it can be playing tag, doing gymnastics, ice skating, skiing, playing hockey, playing hide and go seek, etc. We have been diligent in filling out these booklets with Maddie and Robby. Once you have ten boxes filled out, you get to choose a reward. One of those was getting in free to the Aquatic Center. Since both my children had 10 boxes filled out we happily brought our passport booklets with us and saved ourselves $14 in admission. We are already looking forward to more rewards to come.
My children are basically little fishies in water and so we ended up staying at the aquatic center for about 2.5 hours. The bonus was that they were so tired that evening that bed time went off without a hitch. I love nights like that.
Eli, Robby and Maddie
*Funny note- I got asked if I had triplets while we were swimming. They are finally all hitting that stage when they are fairly close in size. I had to laugh though, because Robby is quite a bit taller than both of the other children. Eli is swiftly catching up to Miss M's height. Poor girl
Eli is completely obsessed with my camera right now and whenever he can get his hands on the camera he will snap upwards of 20-30 pictures at a time. This is one of the best ones he got of Miss M, Rubbas and I after changing back into clothes after swimming.
-being an Arizona girl, it feels almost wrong to put a heavy duty coat back on after swimming-
