Swimming on a Snowy Day

Since Marina got a mermaid fin before Christmas last year, she has wanted to try it out. Since she had the day off today for President’s Day, I decided to take her swimming. We invited Ainsley to join us.

Today was cold and snowy. We decided to try out a new pool with a huge slide and a lazy river. But clearly many other people decided to go swimming today because the pool was much more crowded than we had expected.

The girls immediately started off by taking turns trying out the mermaid fin. The both discovered it was much more difficult than it looked. After the novelty had worn off, they spent quite a while on the lazy river. Near the end of our time there, Ainsley tried the water slide – both had been too scared to try it before then. When Ainsley came down, Marina met her at the bottom and Ainsley gave her a thumbs up. Then they went together to ride it. Clearly they both loved the slide because they went down it again and again.

Neither girl wanted to leave, but Ainsley had a piano lesson. So we headed out into the snow.
