Howdy ...
I always think of Dad with that little twinkle in his eye saying "howdy" to people as we would pass by them. I sure do love our dad. I will do anything it takes to make sure my kids know that I love them, you know.
Today we went swimming at a great pool! It has two huge play areas for little kids. R was freaking out for the first half hour to an hour... then she finally settled down and had some fun. It it so trouble some to see so much of yourself in your kids. I do not like to try new things (I often want to.. but I don't enjoy it for a while), and when I am in the middle of the NewTHing I act very grumpy because I am nervous. So, I assume that is what R was doing today.
It is really nice for us to go places with our tiny family... many place have age three and under as free! Half of us are FREE! So great...
Being the strong Slade girl that I am, I always assume that I will not need sun block, sun block is for sissies... or for whities, which I am one. So, needless to say, part of me looks like a cooked lobster. I say swim suits are way too revealing... and they shouldn't be worn by fat ladies... my legs, my legs... I am just proud of myself for going out in public. For years I haven't gone swimming because of my horror at seeing myself in a swimming suit. Forget that... swimming is so fun!
I went down the gianormous slide... and all of the way up the stairs, I kept looking for signs that said, "No fat ladies allowed on slide." I am telling you, it is a lot of trauma and pressure being over weight! There was no sign and the slide was slippery, super fast, and pretty long. Fun...
E signed us up for the new Gold's Gym in our new downtown hot spot. The city will pay for his membership as long as he goes eight times a month, and as his wife I get a discount. He went to check it out today and he was pretty impressed. It has a pool, a track, basketball, raquetball, weights, treadmills (about 100 he said... but I think he included the stair steppers... ), all kinds of classes etc. This will be good for us. Our goal is to weigh the same by my next birthday. Then instead of being a perfet 10 as a couple (he is the one and I am the zero)... we will be an 11. Funny husband. : )
Love to all!

I have a Gold's Gym membership too! I will think of you when I am there in my Power Sculpt class. I like the classes so much more than just working out by myself. I'm glad you went down the big slide too, those slides scare me to death now. The older I get the more afraid I am for my life. Not sure why . . .I'm closer to dying than I ever was. Ha! :) Love you Julie!!
Sorry for the sunburn but the swimming is great isn't it! I enjoy it here to. And that is way cool that your little ones are getting in. Scott took awhile too and there weren't a lot of people there to make him nervous. Well- see you soon.
Hurray for swimming! That was one of the things I missed so much living here in Orderville, and now we have a little pool to go with our little town. I am missing it this week as I am having class.
Gold's Gym is just a dream I hear other people talk about. That sounds wonderful.
