A Story of Satruday Swimming at What Occured Afterward

That title totally got you interested right? :) On Saturday we took the boys swimming (sorry,no pics).  We had a great time and the older two boys even remember how to swim, which I was a little worried about.  The big hit was the huge water slide and even McKay went down it with Josh and laughed the whole way down.  Hunter got me to take him and is was pretty fun.  I have to be honest, I am constantly cold in the winter.  The thought of swimming this time of year just makes me cold, so I was pretty much the lame one and just sat and played with McKay while I shivered in the water (It actually was kind of cold...)  Hunter owes me big time for taking him on the slide (he doesn't swim well enough yet to go on his own.)

The boys had a ball and I was glad that we did it.  After we were done, I took McKay and got him showered and dressed while Josh took the other boys.  McKay was pretty wild and DID NOT want to sit still for me to get him dressed so it took me a long time to get him and me ready.  I was sure that the boys would be sitting in the lobby waiting on us.  Well, they weren't and they didn't come out for a LONG time.  Luckily I saw a friend from USU that I chatted with to pass the time, which was fun. About 20 minutes later, Palmer came out of the locker room to inform me that he had "accidentally" locked Lincoln in a locker!  Apparently they were playing and Lincoln had gone inside a locker (I think it was one of the tall ones for all of you who are currently squirming with claustrophobia).  There just happened to be a open pad lock on the bench (where in the world did that come from???  What are the chances???)  Palmer picked it up, slid it through the lock space and clicked it shut. 

I went up to the front desk to see what we should do, but they already had it under control...luckily they had a pair of bolt cutters and were attempting to cut the lock off.  In the end they were able to get our poor Lincoln out of the locker (not without collecting our phone number so we could pay for damages...)  Josh said that Lincoln was a champ and didn't panic too much.  There was a funny moment when a bunch of teenagers came in the locker room and Lincoln let out a scream from the locker to "get him out".  Josh said it scared them pretty good :)

Well, I guess chalk that one up for a story to tell the grandkids one day right?
