This morning, Sawyer, Madelyn, and I went swimming with Poppie and Honey. Honey sat with Sawyer while Madelyn, Poppie, and I swam. School is back in session so we had the indoor and outdoor pools mostly to ourselves which was a real treat.
We started at the indoor pool and went around the lazy river several times. After a short adult swim (or safety break as they call it), we played briefly in the fountains and then went outside.
Outside, Honey and Sawyer found a nice table in the shade. Madelyn, Poppie, and I played with an orange ball, did motorboat, kicked, practiced back floats, and jumped in the water among other things. We swam until Madelyn got cold and then ate our snacks, cleaned up, and came home for lunch.
At 100P today, both of my babies were tucked in their beds and sound asleep. This at least 30 minutes earlier than our usual nap time. Additionally, it included no nap time shenanigans from Madelyn. SO, it would seem as though if I really want to wear out my kiddos, all we need to do is pool it up real good.
Tomorrow's outing - Museum of Nature & Science. Hopefully we have the same luck!
Shenanigans? The restaurant with all the goofy stuff on the wall and mozzarella sticks? I take it nap-time shenanigans aren't normally cheeky and fun ...
