Indoor Pool

There's a nice recreation center down the street from where we live now, so we decided to check out the indoor pool -- they actually have a huge outdoor waterpark, but we kept to the inside for our first visit.  I think this place will be great particularly during the winter months.  My only issue was the huge list of rules: no swimmies, no going down the slide on your belly, no going down the slide backwards, no going down the slide together, no going down the big slide (even with the kids on your lap), and on -- and on.  The slide pictured above was made of foam and it went into 1 foot of water, seriously, you would have to put forth solid effort to to even score a tiny bruise on this one.  In Brazil, for a place like this, there would be one rule:  watch your kids! 

All that being said, the kids loved it here and we will be going back.  There were a few other areas of the pool where the kids could play, I just didn't have my camera in hand.  In fact, there was a section in the pool where buckets of water would randomly drop over your head.  Cathy, who tried to keep her hair dry the entire time, walked right into the trap -- it looked like a scene straight out of a comedy film, but alas, I wasn't ready with the camera.
