When I'm home with the kids for the summer (or holiday breaks) I like to plan scheduled "play dates" with other families. This helps us stay active, keep up our friendships, and is good for both mommy and the kids. This past Monday (June 18th), Nicole (from small group) decided to take off so she texted me that morning to find out what the plan was. I actually didn't have anything planned for that day, so we decided through texts, that we would meet up, let the kids play, then head to the pool for swimming and a picnic lunch. Unfortunately, it started to rain that morning and our hopes of swimming were dying fast. N and her boys arrived around 10:30 and the first order of business was play time. R & A were so excited about seeing Grayson (Baylor too). After playing around the house for a while, it was time to head on to the pool. I'm not sure what N and I were thinking but it's safe to say that we were ambitious and crazy at the same time. Taking 6 kids to the pool, when the oldest is four years old. Here are the ages: Grayson (4 yrs), Rin (3 yrs), Abe (2 yrs), Baylor (1yr), Wesley (1 yr) and Rowan (7 months).

The pool was empty. I guess the rain kept everyone away, but it worked out for us. The kids played and N & I got to catch up and chat. We ate our picnic lunches and then the kids swam again. The water was pretty cold, but they kids didn't seem to mind. Our time together was really fun and we look forward to more swim dates with the Caldwells.
