Fun at the Y

Last week we joined the Niceville YMCA and we are so glad we did. The Niceville Y is fairly small, but it has a good amount of cardio and weighlifting equipment, an indoor pool and a child watch facility for Jack. As part of our membership package we can go to any Emerald Coast Y, including the brand new Destin facility.

Jack and I went to the Destin Y yesterday after gymnastics class and it is freaking awesome! There are amazing outdoor pools and we were literally the only people in the spray park and family pool for the first 15 minutes we were there.

The family pool has a beach entry area where the water goes from nothing to 3 feet so it was perfect for us. Jack could play and walk around by himself and I could sit near him the shallow water and relax.

There were noodles ("noonoos" in Jack speak) available for play so Jack used one and he loved it. He got the hang of it right away and wanted to float on it by himself without my help. I honestly had to put down the camera and run to get Jack after taking this photo because he started doggy paddling towards the deeper end.

We will definitely be regulars at the pool this summer!
