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!!!!

Oh, how fun! I didn't even know about this place! Looks like the kids had a ball! I can't wait to hear how Olivia's first day of school went!
Ok, first of were you really up doing this at 2:30am crazy? What were you doing that late/early....packing? Haa haa!!!
Yah, that was a great time. I am glad that I sucked it up and came even though I didn't feel up to it. Seeing the joy in the kids eyes was well worth it!
Glad you were able to find an alternative! That place looks like so much fun. Maybe next summer we can get a bunch of the sisters and kids together for a mini AGD reunion!
sounds like a good blogger location for next summer!!!
Thanks for all your kind words and prayers! I'm going home tomorrow!! Talk to you soon.
Great pictures. I can't believe how big Zach is now. That aquatic center looks like a blast.
