Little Miss Ariel

We haven't seen Ariel all summer. She spent a couple of weeks in Texas with her dad, she's also been taking swimming lessons in Arvada and staying with Grandma.

Adam and particularly Alex were so happy she'd be coming to our house today.

In the morning, I tried to do some cleaning up and I realized (I guess not for the first time) that it is impossible to clean with kids in the house. And if I take the kids somewhere else, then I can't clean either. So I got my kitchen/dining area picked up for a new and bigger mess in Adam and Alex's room.

I swam the noon master's class and the kids went to daycare. Afterwards, we all went back to the pool.

Ariel *was* pumped:



And for the first time, I let them get fruit bars from the snack stand. Alex liked his, but both Adam and Ariel wanted to bail after half a bar. At least I have a good reason to say no next time.



We swam for about 2 1/2 hours. A great time was had by all.

She has been psyched to see you for weeks. Glad you guys had a good time, she loves the "fun" swimming!
