Last night, in an effort to appease Emma, we took the girls to the family swim time at the Lifetime Fitness swimming pool. That will be the last time we do that for a LONG time. Let me just tell you, Internet, we needed 2 parents per child at the pool, or maybe 3 just for Emma. She wanted to run. She wanted to swim. She wanted to jump. JUMP WITHOUT ANYBODY CATCHING HER. Then she wanted more running. And she only wanted to do this in the deep end. As if 3 feet isn't the deep end for her. Then we took the girls back to the locker room, where Emma did not want to stay within the confines of the nice shower area provided for the families with kids. While Jim showered, I tried to dress the (wet) kids and dry their hair a little - while Emma played with the reset button on the plug the whole time. And there was whining and gnashing of teeth by both children when we tried to leave.
All in all, there were some brief moments of valuable family time in the water, like when we all played Ring Around the Rosey together, or when Jim took the girls, one at a time, under the giant mushroom waterfall thing and waved from behind the waterfall. But I am not ready to make any more tender pool remembrances any time soon.

When you say triathalon training, d'you mean actual triathalon training? Like, with an actual triathalon at the end of it? Are there two A's in triathalon? Are you really really ACTUALLY going to totally DO that??? That is incredibly awesome, and I need a more detailed narrative about the process.
Triathlon! Only 1 A, but only people who win national spelling bees and participate in the sport are allowed to know that. So unless you are one of those people, you are relegated to mis spelling the sport. Tragic!
