pool day

The last time I took these two to the indoor pool was probably about three years ago.  There's a story.  I was carrying both of them and stepped backwards in the pool and felt something under my foot that most definitely was NOT tile.  I cringed.  Looked down.  Yep.  Poo.  And not a kid sized poo.  OMG.  It took everything I had to calmly carry them out of the pool and not puke.  Fast forward to last week, Lila was itching to go swimming so she could "be a flamingo", so she asked me to take her to the lake.  I said no to that, then told her that there was an indoor pool with nice warm water.  It blew her mind.  We picked Monday as our day to go to the pool, wrote it on the calendar, and counted down the days.  They were so excited, and had the best time, especially because Katie played hooky and came with us, and we met auntie Georgia there as well.   I see many more pool days in our future.  Their excitement and joy have almost healed the mental wounds I suffered at the "poo-l"
