**Flaunt It If you Got It**

At least this was the motto of my three and a half year old, Lane, while we visited the YMCA Water Park today. There were quite a few moments that offered up some laughs (most of which I have pics of) but none quite like the one that inspired this post title. And sadly, I don't have a picture of it :(, but oh do I have the memory and it will be forever journaled here so that when he turns 14 or 15, I can use it to my benefit! :)

You may ask yourself, "What can be so funny that would cause a mother to blog about an ordinary YMCA visit?" Well, let me tell you. While leisurely laying in the wonderful sunshine with my husband enjoying the fact that my children were playing by themselves, I look up to see a little boys WHITE BARE REAR shining in the afternoon sun. At first I thought "oh my, glad that is not..." and then it struck me, "THAT IS MINE". I then proceeded to gasp (which caused my husband to think something was wrong), jump up and ran over to where my oldest had decided to FLAUNT IT. While running I could hear faint chuckling in the background and I thought to myself, "Oh Lord please let him lay down in the water." Upon arriving I yelled "What are you thinking", noticing that my youngest also had his swimming trunks down around his ankles, and at that moment I thanked the Lord above for Little Swimmers. I finally got to my naked child and gave him the speech about no one wants to see that and we don't take our clothes off in public, while the lady life guard was simultaneously saying "Honey we have to keep our shorts on or we can swim in the pool". After apologizing to her I headed back to my seat where I got a little scolding from my husband for overreacting. Overreacting, (are you kidding me?), I was a little embarrassed as this was the first time my kids voluntarily took of their clothes in a public place! He really did not care much for my excuses, but I was in shock. After it was all said and done, I thought to myself, at least I have a blog post! :) Good Times!!!!

Well that is the funniest moment from today, but here were some others that were caught on film, let me narrate for you-

Here is Lane and Luke breaking the rule that you are not to jump off of the top step:

And here are some of my boys recruiting some other boys to break the rules:

And here are some where the lifeguard and daddy tell them not to jump off the top step:

And finally we have the "naughty mat" moments that resulted from jumping off the top step:

But after it was all said and done, we had a great time and the boys loved getting out of the house! This is absolutely one of their favorite things to do, and I have to admit that I like it too!!!
