Gone Swimming!

This summer we have done quite a bit of swimming, but unlike in Phoenix we only have a few swimming pool options here. The main one being the hotel right up the road. You can buy a family pass for $40 a month, so we have had one every month this summer. It's super close, which makes it super convenient, and pretty cheap. The 3 "C's" that speak to a mom!
And another convenient factor is that since it is a hotel, they provide towels. Awesome! Another wonderful thing for a mom, I'm not doing loads of beach towels all summer long too.

So this week we have our cousins Kenzie and Drew in town visiting. Kenzie is 9 and Drew is almost 4. the girls frequently want to wear their swim suits instead of clothes, so I didn't really think much about it when Renee asked me to help her put on her swim suit. On with her swim suit and off she went to play with her cousins.

I sat down to feed the baby, and Grandma Joyce had said that the kids were down the street playing and asked if that was OK. This is Nauvoo so we haven't worried about kids being outside by themselves like we do in Phoenix or California (that would NEVER happen in those places) So anyways Joe and I didn't seem to worried about it, our kids know to stay around the area and come home. Well not too long later we get a pounding knock on the door,

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
It's our grumpy old neighbor, telling us our girls were all the way down our street crossing the "Highway"

HOLY COW!

Joe jumps on his bike and off he goes to rescue them.
Well when they came home they told us that they were "taking Drew to the hotel to go swimming!"

OH MY GOODNESS!

Can you just picture 3 little 4 yr olds going to the hotel lobby asking to go swimming!
OH BOY, this was one blog worthy story!
