Today we met friends Tracey and son Dylan at the Tom Muehlenbeck Center to swim! This is a local rec center in Plano, and it's actually the one that has Ben's name on the plaque as you enter because he was on the Parks & Rec board when it was built! And today was our first time there. It's been open almost 2 years. Tom Meuhlenbeck is the current city manager so Ben hangs out with him during City Council meetings.
The elementary school where I taught was next door to this place, so we got to see it constructed every single day while the kids played at recess. I love how it's turned out because it's beautiful and clean and has a ton of lifeguards - not something I really took notice of until I had a child. It has the coolest baby/little kid pool and wonderful slides for the bigger kids and a pretty neat big pool for them, too. We aren't members, so we had to pay to get in, but it was worth it. Lainey loved it. Despite losing one of her $45 custom-made earplugs, we had a great time. We found the earplug in a gutter (thankfully they float!), and ooooh, I am grateful. Lainey, curious angel that she is, has found a way to pull them out. After a couple of months of daily use, she's never tried this, but she's tried to yank them out both yesterday and today. Hm. Might have to pull out the beautiful headband that I purchased to hold those bad boys in!
Sweet Dylan, who will be a big brother in November to a baby girl!

These pictures are too cute! Love the first one of Lainey. Hilarious. Looks like a fun place!
The pool is so fun in the summer! I love the first pic of Lainey! We took James in for the first time today. He LOVED it!
