Wow - It is 2009 already!!! 4 Day Weekend!!!

I have sooooo many pics I want to post but up until I got an external mouse it would have been too hard.... now I just need the TIME!!

We have a 4 day weekend..... end of the quarter was Thursday and teachers had an in-service day yesterday and Monday is MLK day - a holiday - so, we have a 4 day weekend!! So, yesterday we wanted to find something to do to prove Brandy wrong that we NEVER do ANYTHING.... so, I came up with the Hooper Pool - which is a natural hot springs pool just outside of Hooper, CO near the Sand Dunes.... we had so much fun! I forgot the camera though :(

The kids thought they wouldn't be able to swim since they hadn't in so long but they remembered as soon as they hit the water!! There is a smaller pool that is 2' throughout the whole thing but Brooke got bored in that one and eventually stayed in the big pool - which BTW is outside!!! Steam coming off it - at times I couldn't even see the bigger kids in the deep end!

By the time we left Brandy was holding her breath under water for 10-15 seconds, Luke was diving through his blowup ring, and Brooke was climbing out of the pool by herself, standing on the edge and showing me her muscles, grrrrring, and jumping in, going under, coming up and swimming back to start all over (she had a on a floatie vest)!!! This morning that is all she is talking about.... not going in the green pool anymore, just the blue one! Can we go again today????

Well, I will really try hard to post some pictures from the last month or so this week.... maybe things will slow down so I can :)
