Swimming at the Aquatic center

Julia has really been enjoying her baths lately. I think because she's figured out how to drink the water (which I discourage of course), but she has a fun time and likes to stay in a lot longer than she used to, so I decided that she and I should go swimming. Of course the only place to go around here at this time of year is the Idaho Falls Aquatic Center.

I called them and found out that Thursday night 7-9 is float night. So we got on our swimming suits and headed out tonight. Ben came along too, but isn't feeling well enough to swim. Float night was a good night to go because Julia loves her little donut floaty. She kicked and splashed and tried to drink the water while I got some good exercise swimming her around the pool!

Then I took her out of the floaty and set her on the side of the pool so she could kind of jump to me. She really liked that! She would laugh really cutely before belly flopping into my arms. I wish I'd gotten some pictures, but pools aren't really conducive to that and Ben had to sit up stairs in an over looking booth thing.

The only thing we didn't like about the outing was how late the swim session was. Julia's bed time is at 8 and she knows it! It's pretty much impossible to keep her happy after that hour. Also, it's $4 for adults to swim and $3 for children 4-13 I think. Luckily Julia got in free. I think we'll try to go again soon. If any one wants to join us, let me know and we'll get it together!
