Nellie Gail Swim club

Oh the memories! as a kid this was what we did every summer walk to the swim club and hang out all day! i dont know if parents we just more relaxed back then or just didnt care for their kids, but i swear i was like 8 and my siblings like 5 and 3 and walking a few blocks to go swimming by ourselves.. does this strike anyone else as odd? Anyway, it was always fun and we are all still alive? I get to relieve these memories when i go with the kids but it isnt quite as fun, i am constantly watching the girls, and rarely get to lay out and actually enjoy swimming heaven forbid lay out! one day i will get to do that again but it will probably be a long time from now. I thought these pictures were pretty good examples of how mom's/ grandma's feel while bringing kids to the pool. everone climbs on and you are trying to keep 3 toddlers above water while the older kids hop on because they know its annoying? Paige was also hanging on to Grandma but got off her back before i took the picture.
Jordan doesnt seem to be quite as happy to be held like this as Kailey does..

We only did the swim club once, the next few pool days were at Barb Cook's house (my sisters mother in-law) It was so much easier! i could put Jordan and Carter to sleep while Kailey had a step all around the pool while i actually got to lay out. Kailey became an excellent floater/swimmer in the matter of 3 days! Thanks Barb! When we got back to utah we decided to go swimming, i told Kailey and she starts jumping "I want to go to Barb's pool!" i wasnt really up for the 600 mile trek back to Laguna so we went to Veterans instead! A different kind of fun.
