A Little Swim

For our little nephew's birthday party we went swimming at an indoor pool with a kids play area. The pool was amazing. However, our kids wanted to swim in deeper waters (seems to be the story of their little lives). I am glad though, because that meant that they needed me more. They are growing up so fast that while we were in the kid pool they were able to do a lot by themselves, and I kind of missed them. In the deeper water, however, they would jump to me, ride on my back, play games, and goof off with me. Our friendship seemed stronger, and it made me feel like they thought I was pretty cool too. At first I was worried about being able to keep track of both of them at the pool, but, in addition to having family there to help, my kids didn't want to wander off alone. They wanted to be with me. In fact, as far as my son is concerned, that may be why he no longer wanted to play in the kiddie area--because Daddy wasn't allowed to play with him on any of the toys. I'm a lucky dad.
