Swimming Time in Missouri

Heather, Chad and their family are members of a local community pool in their neighborhood.  It reminded me of a mini Wet 'N Wild from days gone by in Las Vegas.  I was surprised how big it was and how warm the water felt.  It was absolutely the best thing we did while in Missouri.  Of the eight days we spent in the St. Louis area this time, we went to either the Ballwin or Chesterfield pool four times.  Each time we spent about three hours.  It was relaxing and fun.  I wish Las Vegas had a facility similar to the one that Heather and her family get to enjoy every day of summer.  I don't understand why Missouri can afford such a nice recreational area for their residents while Nevada seems to be very, very broke!

There goes Skye!

There goes Dane!

Here's Skye trying to climb the rock wall.

Here's Kyra just about to the top of the rock wall.

Dane had lots of fun jumping off the diving board
time after time.  He never seemed to get tired!

There goes Dane!

Here's Kyra taking a turn on the tree rope.

Here's Skye and Heather enjoying some
cuddling time.  I didn't get a picture of the lazy river, but
that was my favorite part of both the Ballwin and
Chesterfield Aquatic Center.
