SWIMMING in December


The boys had been asking me if they could go to swimming lessons and I had to keep telling them no honey we don't have time.  The swim lesson times were in the evenings and would not work out with Jared and I's schedule, we hope to again in the spring.  Anyway, so we had some time off from basketball and Jared from work I told Jared we should go to a hotel and let them swim for a night or day or something.  We had a few different options and had thought about going and visiting our friends little boy Blake (that had the kidney transplant) but he was pretty sick and didn't want to bother them and Landon had a little cold so we didn't know.  By the way he is better then he was but still need prayers.  So after talking with Jared's mom about it and such we came up with that she had a free night at Amistar Casino and we could use it and they could swim there, which worked out nicely.  We left my dad's after breakfast and packing up about 12:45 so just in time for nap and a four and half hour car ride.  The trip went great the boys slept a lot of it and we stopped along side of the road for pee breaks three times but still made it to Omaha by 5:00 which was really good time with two other stops so a total of 5 stops.  The boys had an absolute BLAST swimming and those that know my boys know that they LOVE to eat when it was time to get out of the pool I told them we were going to eat, that did not matter to them they wanted to swim more.  It was hard to get them out but I wanted to get them to eat and bed it was getting late.  They were a bit ornery at dinner and ready for bed.  Their cousins Ella, Hunter, Hannah, and Allie joined us!
