With the Christmas holidays, both Kevin and I had several days off, plus his regular Monday-Tuesday off, so we got a hotel in Indianapolis with an indoor pool to enjoy a few days of play. Ever since going to ReeRee's meet, Camden has been talking about swimming, so we thought this was a perfect excuse to take her.
We arrived on Christmas day. Camden was thrilled to get her suit on and get in the pool, despite it being slightly cold (again, she endures the temperature much more than her mother...).
Kevin and Camden make silly faces while riding the "alligator" from the 4th floor to the 1st floor to get to the pool.
We didn't have any floatation devices so Camden had to hold on to one of us the entire time. But she's a dare devil and kept tempting fate. We knew we had to get something for her, but it was Christmas and no stores were open. We did find a Walgreens and a CVS, but since it was off season, there was nothing to be found.
Likewise, finding someplace to eat dinner proved difficult. We drove around the southside of Indy to only find...you guessed it...a Chinese buffet. It was pretty disappointing and half the stuff was cold. Kevin even commented that a few of the things he ate didn't taste quite right. Sure enough, that night he was violently sick and remained so for the next few days. He decided to tough it out at the hotel since he could still watch the football games and we could still swim!
Camden and I did make it to Meijer in the morning and get a nice floatation vest so she could enjoy the water a little more freely. She loved that she could float near the steps and even doggie paddled a little on her own with me right next to her. It's the plus side of a fearless child...she wanted to swim, so she did. Even flipping over a few times and getting her head under water didn't deter her (she's on antibiotics for an ear infection, so we didn't let her go under besides the few oops moments while she was trying to swim).
