Night at the Rec. Center

Jake called me this afternoon and asked if I was still planning on going to the Rec. Center. Tytan was with him and decided this was a great idea. He was set on going. Jake came home and Brilee woke up from her nap earlier than expected, so we figured we may as well go. We picked up Tytan and headed to Vernal. As we drove by Bottle Hollow Reservoir Brilee started saying, "Oh, water. Swimming." It took Jake and I a minute to understand her, but Tytan picked up on it right away. "Oh Bri Bear we can't swim there." We got to Vernal and picked up Tytan's BEST FRIEND, (we heard this a lot, haha!!) Creeson. Tytan and Creeson had a blast swimming together. They both put on life jackets and took off. The only time I saw them was when the life guards were yelling at them because they were doing flips into the pool wearing life jackets... by flips I mean somersaults. Brilee was a crazy little fishy of course. She loves the rec. center. She just takes off like she owns the place. She goes down all the slides by herself, climbs the stairs alone, and has figured out how to hold her breath. She loves diving under the water and then coming back up. She was scaring the life guards to pieces. They thought Jake and I were crazy because we would let her dive in, swim a little, and then come back up. It is scary though! She also likes to lay on her back and take off rolling. 
She was just like a big kid out there playing. The bucket even dropped on her and she giggled about it.




Jake hasn't swam with Brilee for a long time and he was pretty impressed. First thing he said when we got in the car, "It is crucial she learns to swim fast..."
After swimming Ty and Creeson wanted to climb. 
Ty got one step away from the VERY top, but his arms were so tired he couldn't take the last step to ring the bell!

McD's after swimming is a must!

We have a family rec center pass, but never go. Every time we've gone in the past the water has been SO COLD! Is it still cold?
