I had gotten everything ready the night before so that everything would go smoothly. I looked up directions to the pool and we headed out. It was so exhausting pulling the bike tralier behind me, and half way there I was so tired I didn't think we were ever going to make it. But I put my "yes" hat on and kept going. I couldn't find the right road at first but then I saw a sign for the sports center and just followed it. It took me up a huge hill and around the curve was the pool! YAY! Finally!!
I went up to the counter to pay and the receptionist told me that I didn't have to pay today because the instructor was sick, so we would just be on our own! WHAT!? We had never been swimming before and I was kind of hoping to get some tips of what to do with a 3 month old in a big pool! The woman told me that if I didn't feel comfortable I could just come back next week. "NO WAY," I said. "I have just biked from Skjern, I am going in that pool!" And we did! There were so many women there with their babies, and many of them had been there multiple times before, so they instructed the new beginners on what to do! It was perfect. We both had a great time. Silas was smiling the whole time. I even dunked him under the water and he was a bit shocked but only a small half cry left his lips and then he was smiling again.
It was quite an ordeal to get there, get us both dressed and showered, but I will definitely do it again. I have to admit I was pretty proud of the adventure we were on, so next week I'm going to wear my SUPERMOM T-shirt to the pool!!
