Splash...but wear a swim cap!

One of the things that makes me homesick is seeing all the outdoor pool, lake and swimming pictures  that friends post on Instagram and Facebook. Outdoor pools here are only open mid July - mid August. And indoor pools? Well, we have one, but it is interesting. 

Our hotel has a pool, but it is connected with the hotel spa. So it has lap lanes, and three of the lanes are reserved for members of the spa/gym. The other two lanes are for hotel members, so if lots of people are at the pool you have to share a lane. There hasn't been a lot of kids at our hotel, which has been surprising. We thought there would be more, but we make do. I feel lucky to have this time with Hudson. We dive for rings, play hide and seek with them and have fun swimming multiple times a week.

Our pool also requires swim caps. I'll post a picture of Hudson in his awesome Tom & Jerry swim cap we bought, but mine will never be immortalized in picture form, much to the dismay of my friend Janelle (hi Glacier hills Janelle!) who texts me for my swim cap pic regularly. Not happening, lol!

Midday on weekdays has been the best time for us to swim. It usually has a few people using the lanes for lap swim, but its not busy. There is a great hot tub pool with a big screen tv. On the weekends it plays Disney, which has been fun for Hudson. I'm very glad we have a pool, but it isn't slides and lakes and splashing, thats for sure!
