Polar Bear Club!?!?!?!






"Who lets their kids swim OUTSIDE when it's 30 degrees out???!!!! WHO would do such a thing???? Those parents are ___________ and ____________ and definitely ________!!" (Feel free to fill in the blanks!)

I guess that would be us.... :) For the record, I will elaborate on the above insanity:

1. They are taking swim lessons! Apparently the dead of winter (yes, it's cold even in California in the "winter" time...) is the best time to find an opening and get them in. Ya think?? We've been wanting to get them in lessons at this place for awhile now and when the opportunity came up, we grabbed it!

2. The pool is heated to 80 degrees. And the locker rooms that they swarm to after their 1/2 hour swim lesson is up is a balmy 85+ degrees.

3. They LOVE it! And after only 2 1/2 weeks the older ones are swimming half way across the pool! Mission accomplished!!!

4. Ya'shar is the easiest one to spot. He's the only kid in the POOL with his hair still DRY.

5. Almost makes me wanna go swimming with them, too. Almost.
