Swim Weekend

Every March Steven works the Home and Garden show from a Thursday-Sunday.  I often say this is the point in the year where I realize I will not see my husband until beginning Fall. Bummer for me and the boys but we are thankful for the work so I will try not to complain too much.  Since this weekend was the show my sister let me borrow her YMCA card so I could take the boys to the super awesome pool at the Owasso Y.  I wish this place wasn't 40 minutes round trip because I think my boys would come here everyday if given the chance.

Friday the brothers got to go together after school.  This was around a 2 1/2 hour ordeal.  They played, dunked, wrestled, and swam.  They had a great time!  Never did they complain they were cold, or wanted to get out, or were ready to go home.  We closed the place down on Friday night.

Saturday Will asked to bring a friend.  He picked two of his closest friends, but one was not able to come, so Mason joined us on Saturday.  This was actually the easiest day for me sitting and watching on the sidelines.  These three boys played together for close to 3 hours with not one fight, trouble, or worry.  Except if you wanna count Owen not wanting to get out of the pool quick enough to go pee.  He couldn't quite make it to the potty.  Thankfully, the floor was wet with swimming pool water, so Owen just added a little more liquid to the floor.  I tried to stop him but in the words of Mason who was looking on, "You're not gonna stop that!"

Sunday was our last day at the pool.  The boys were getting tired by this point.  They love to swim and enjoy themselves tremendously but swimming takes it out of you and I was beginning to see them fading at the end of Sunday.  Sunday their cousin Ava got to join in on the fun.  This day had a few more squabbles (since the cousins are more like siblings than cousins).  Nothing they couldn't get over though and continue on with their fun swimming experience.  Will and Ava spent a lot of their time in the Lazy River floating away their troubles:)  Owen made friends in the baby pool and had them entertained almost the entire 3 hours.  

I was thankful that Angela let us use her pass this weekend and I am sure since Steven will be busy for many more months that we will use it again!  The boys had a great time and wore themselves out as evident by my Owen (who NEVER naps out and about) and couldn't even wake himself up to eat at his favorite Mexican restaurant last night.  So funny!
