March's Gift

 If a big gift of God to us in February was the rediscovery of beach time and in particular a fantastic new beach, a big gift for March is the reopening of our pool. We have missed it over this whole last year!  

Yesterday was the first day it was open, so it was well used. The SOPs for use are quite stringent, and we were brought up short a few times during our time there, but it felt so good to be swimming there again. 

The kids discovered just how much they have grown in the last year as Aiden can now touch bottom all over the pool, and the girls are both head and shoulders out of the water in most places. Still, foot fish, theatre, and other games were still good fun.

As one of the new rules is that we only get 45min swims at a time (because the capacity is set so super low at 10 people), we still had plenty of time for a long game of Catan Seafarers as well. A definite bonus for not going out to the beach.
