Joined the YMCA
On Saturday, we signed up with membership at our local YMCA. The membership fee itself wasn’t too bad and since we’re going to be out of the credit card hassle, it shouldn’t be a problem. One of the things we would like to attain is a more active lifestyle for ourselves and the kids. Mandy and I will be starting on fitness programs and trying to work out a couple of times a week. The kids will be taking swimming lessons (myself as well since I never learned) and participate in a sport by this summer. The open swim time and playgrounds are also good ways for the kids to stay active.
We took advantage of our membership yesterday with the open swim time. We all had a great time, especially Nicky. He looked like he loved every minute of it, splashing and kicking everywhere. Abi was okay… until she got into the water. It may have been the life jacket since it made her flip up on her back and she probably wanted a little more control than that. That didn’t stop Ben from having a good time. The life jacket did the same thing to him but he loved it. I think there should be another skill level before polliwog called driftwood because that’s what Ben was imitating. He’d float over somewhere and we’d have to grab his ankle and pull him back towards us. After the pool, we headed home for a bit before running some errands and letting the kids play at Papa’s house. We got our workout clothes so we’ll be ready to start this week. It’s been a busy weekend and we’re pretty sore. Though I think Nicky was more tired than we were.
