Momma/Daugher Date

After my last post I realized that we needed to do something fun to get out of our funk. So I decided to take Shye swimming. She loves water and I knew it would do the trick for her. But I was not looking forward to the grossness that usually accompanies indoor pools. I don't know about you guys, but for me indoor pools conjure images of mold, algae, and feces. So I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the Northwest Rec Center was. It was super clean, it didn't have that damp, chlorine smell, and thankfully there were no feces to speak of. And we were the only ones there! Actually that was a little strange because a life guard had to come out and watch us. This facility had a lap pool and a wading/leisure pool. The water was warm and there were two little slides and there were fountains and water toys. There is also a current that you can float on but shye wasn't very interested in that. She had such a ball that even after two hours she still wasn't ready to go. But on our way home we stopped at Cafe Rio and shared a chicken salad (no tortilla, no rice). We have a deal when it comes to Cafe Rio salads, I get all the lettuce and meat and she gets all the pico de gallo, guacamole, and beans. We make a good team. It's was a perfect little momma/daughter date. And most importantly it seemed to snap us out of our grouchiness.

Happy Monday! And Happy St. Patrick's Day! Go get your green on!
