Finally found an activity that agrees with all of our youngsters. Matt and I took the kiddos swimming at the Apex yesterday, with the help of a few other adults! We roped Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sammi into coming with us, you can never have too many eyes and hands when the boys are involved. We encountered our first and only melt down in the family dressing room due to Brenden not wanting to put his swim trunks on. I almost called it a bathing suit, but I stopped myself knowing that would bring some grief from my husband. Brenden assumed that since I was taking his clothes off it meant was going to get swim naked
, and it made him pretty mad when I started putting something else on him. Once we were able to take care of that little disagreement, he was off like a shot when he saw the water. Apryl and Alexys went off to the big water slides and to play in the big people area...the other area is for "babies"! A good thing about the apex is that it is big enough to have two different areas for the ages but it's not too big for us to be able to keep track of the girls. The boys and Addy were lucky enough to be escorted by five adults, and I use that term adults loosely. Mostly because I like playing at the water park as much as they do, and perhaps so do Grandpa and Grandma. We all know how adult-like Matt is! The boys liked splashing and swimming, but Brenden especially loved jumping off the wall into the water. I tried a few times to get Garhett to jump, but he would get as close to the edge of the wall as he could, then carefully walk into my arms. B-man on the other hand was climbing out of the water and immediately turning around to jump into the water whether or not someone was waiting for him. He could have jumped off the wall all day long. Brenden even went down one of the big slides with me, something I think Garhett would have hated doing. It is just fine with me that Garhett is a little more cautious than Brenden, that way only one be jumping off the roof a few years from now!
