Swimming When It's Below Freezing

So what do you do when it's below freezing outside and the kids have been cooped up inside for too long? Well, you go swimming, of course! Yesterday afternoon was Brooke's birthday party at the RiverPlex. I cannot believe that she is 5 years old already. Time goes by way too fast. The kids had a blast and it seemed that swimming was just the thing to fix a dreary cold day full of boredom.

Ashley, quite the babysitter, took care of Mitchell for most of the party.

Brooke takes on the lazy river and Mitchell holds on for dear life.

Ryan and Bret chill out in the lazy river, too.

Brooke says that it's "party time!"

Ash and Ryan wait patiently for cake and ice cream.
