We had a Splashin' Good Time at the new Aquatic Center in Gainesville. We packed the kids up Sunday night for a trip to the neighborhood pool. Sunscreen on, kids in the car, we're on our way....only to find our pool closed due to contamination. Well, what do you do with 3 kids screaming "Pool, pool, pool!!"???? You find an alternative.
Melanie remembered a new Aquatic Center that opened this past weekend. Only 18 minutes away, $4 admission for me and Josh, and we had ourselves a splashin' good time.
Daddy with the kiddos!!!
Zach actually liked the water falling on him until the very last time That time he got some water in his nose and was DONE, but up until then, he like it....surprisingly!
This was the main attraction for us. This part of the pool was waist deep for Olivia, so she could do whatever she wanted without her floaties. Here's Morgan tyring to get out of the way, and if you look closely, that's Olivia entering the water - Spread Eagle!!! I was shocked, but she LOVED it. Sometimes she would land on her feet, sometimes on her rear, but she never got scared and kept going back for more. I think we'll be doing swimming lessons here this spring!!!
There was another pool that had this river with a current. We popped the kids in life vests and let them go with the flow....pun intended.
And here's my Little Man. He loved it just as much as the girls. The fountain was the favorite for him. He literally attacked the water...the cutest thing I've ever seen. He and Daddy even went down the water slide!!! Such a big boy!So, I highly recommend this place if any of you live in the area. It's called the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center and it's open year round (outside stuff only for 2 more weeks).
Hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day. Tomorrow is Olivia's first day of school...so we'll be posting more tomorrow! Wish us luck!!!!
