Swim in the Pool

Tonight we headed down to the Crowne Plaza near Heathrow Airport as we were to catch a 7AM flight to Frankfurt the next morning.  One of the things that this particular hotel advertized was that it had the biggest pool near Heathrow so I thought if we could get down early enough that we could take the kids swimming.  Earlier in the day the kids and I went to buy Addison some Fifi Flowertot arm bands and all she wanted to do was wear them all day.  The car ride down all she could talk about was "Swim in the pool, mommy, swim in the pool!"  We didn't make it to the hotel until 7:30PM and the pool closed to kids at 8PM so just Addison and I whipped on our suits and headed down to the pool to get some play time in.  We had to warn her several times that we couldn't swim long and she couldn't get upset when it was time to get out which she did really well.  She had so much fun though.  I let her go a few times in the deeper section so it was just the floaties holding her up and she did pretty good until a little water got in her mouth.  I immediately looked at Kevin and said we need to get her to a pool more often especially if we are going to get another boat when we go back to the States.  I think she will really like swimming and both of our kiddos need to learn to be fish!!!
