Upon arriving home from work and daycare, Andy was looking at the Columbia “Leisure Times” publication. He was looking at swimming pool hours for the public pools and noticed that the Lake of the Woods pool was open until 7 pm on Thursdays and that after 5 pm, admission is only $1.75/person. On the spur of the moment, we all changed into our swimsuits and headed out the door. We got to swim for about an hour and the kids had a great time! Laura discovered how to swim to the bottom of the pool and that she could hold her breath while Andy counted to 13. John jumped in repeatedly… I’ll have bruises on my arms tomorrow because he jumped at me so much! It was well worth the $7 admission for the four of us and I think we’ll be going again sometime.
The Oakland pool is also open until 7 during the week and has the cheaper price after 5:00. It’s close and has the kid part with a wade pool and play structure. Alia and I go there.
