Time to swim

Meadowbrook

Many pools in the area are opening today for the season, and the weather has obliged -- so far, at least. Have you hit the water yet?

I haven't taken the plunge as yet, but did spend some time helping open the pool at my Mother-in-law's house, and the kids have been taking swim lessons at the MAC for the last 6 weeks.... (by the way, the classes at the MAC are actually cheaper than the "Y")

The preparations are nearly complete, now we wait for the rain to stop :)
