Krystal Palm Beach

 As a special treat we took the boys over to a great indoor swimming pool in Nuremburg. The above picture is the wave pool where they also have dance parties, hoola-hoop, and tug-of-war games for the kids to play when the waves are not crashing down on everyone. Also as one of their activities they threw colored rocks into the deep end and people could get them. Cael was so focused and determined to retrieve them that at first he jumped in there without his goggles. I was a bit worried watching him pop up for air and make it down to the bottom, back up, tread water, and go right back down. Surprisingly he actually found 3 rocks this way. It really was crowded in the pool during this time, so I kept watching him until he found me and got his goggles. Ben went along with him this time and together they found all the clear rocks, very difficult to see at the bottom of a swimming pool.
 Here Cael is holding his loot. 5 clear rocks and 3 hair bands! Way to go son!

And just for fun I started snapping pictures of random speedo-s in the area.... Ben really got a kick out of it when we got home. This one is going for a simple but elegant look- Black is very slimming...

 Even the elderly take part in the speedo trend... (see above)
 AND you can even go a little crazy with your pattern choice! Not a lot of fabric BUT the possibilities are endless!

*and if you are really adventurous... FRIDAY NIGHTS after 8 are bathing suits OPTIONAL!!! Oh you do not know how much I want to go...  JUST KIDDING!!! Just another one of the perks of living in Europe :) I actually was laughing a little too hard at these pictures so I had to make them smaller, you get the idea, but you aren't throwing up in your mouth while you read on....

Baby Connor thought it was really funny to bite my leg. I like this picture because of the crazy-happy look on his face, even though when he actually did bite my leg I was not feeling too happy! That little boy is sure a funny one to have around.

Brecon is ready to race! This boy has been doing so good putting his head under the water. He is trying hard to kick and use his arms, but he might need a good swimming teacher to really refine his skills, or weeks of swimminng laps like Cael got on swim team in Texas! Oh well! The kid is only 4 years old after all... wait that is how old Cael was on swim team, doh! We will keep on swimming, keep on swimming.....
