Pool Time!

this was last week: 20-Jan

I took all the boys to the pool this week!  It was such a great week because of it too. :o)  I had the opportunity to take the boys this week because I had enough funding from home, so: THANK YOU!!!  Your support has been such a great blessing to the boys, each one of them had a great time!  I took the youngest room the first day, on Tuesday.  I counted out ten pairs of water wings and spent a lot of breath inflating them only to find out the boys didn’t want or need them at all!  These were the littlest boys, average age of 5, but they wanted nothing to do with them.  Only one boy wanted to wear them, and cute little Shelton still never left the stairs the whole time.  Haha, but he had a great time nonetheless!  I loved playing with Shelton, trying to persuade him to come off the stairs.  I felt like my mom because he just clung to me the whole time (even though he could touch the bottom).  He was hilarious :o)

Wednesday I took our oldest room, about 8 years old.  They were crazy!  Typical boys.  Jumping and flipping off the edge.  At one point, Salamao’s head was about two inches from slamming into the edge of the pool… oh so horrifying.  It’s so hard for me to play with boys sometimes because they are so rough!  I have so many memories of watching Scott rough house with Connor and Brayden and having to walk away and talk to Katie because it was just too scary!  But anyway, none of the boys were harmed :o)  In their typical boyish luck.

Room 1 was possibly the most fun because I worked it out so I could really spend the afternoon at the pool. This is the middle-age room with boys about 6 and 7 years old.  The other two rooms had only had about an hour at the pool, but these guys got a solid two hours and the visitor who helped me even bought cokes for them at the gas station on the walk home!  I also got really tan that day :o) Or.. to clarify, I got pretty burned but I woke up Saturday very tan and burn-free!

Sadly, I don’t have any pictures because I only just got my camera back from having forgotten it over Christmas at my family’s house.
