Another YMCA day!

Interesting trip to the YMCA! There was drama, fun, and sun to be had! First--the drama--every hour they have everyone get out of the pool. Probably to switch lifeguards, check the pool, etc. Well--there was a teenager and his father there. The teenager--a big kid, probably 13 or 14 years old--would not get out of the pool. Kind of funny at first, but then as the lifeguards chased him and tried to box him in, it got not so funny! The kid was running up the stairs to the slides--getting away from the lifeguards--and then when he got to the bottom they were right there so he tried to climb up the waterslide! He then got away again and went in the Kiddie area and kept dodging the lifeguards! The lifeguards were pretty frustrated by now and getting irritated! They brought out more reinforcements--upper management--and they tried to get him too! Then he ran over to two girls on the loungechairs and grabbed her hot dog and started eating it!!! She was shocked! Then he went over to the concessions stand and bothered all patrons in line. Okay--now it is getting ridiculous! I wondered why the dad wasn't involved in trying to get him but I guess since he was a really big guy he just couldn't chase him! Lastly--the boy locked himself in the boys bathroom! About 5 lifeguards tried and tried to open the locked door but couldn't! At this point my kids are all scared and want to go home!! Finally--they get the door open and escort him and his father out of the YMCA! Wow!! Swimming and entertainment!!



Footnote--The lifeguards actually came to me and told me I was not allowed to take pictures! It is posted everywhere she says and tells me to put my camera away! Too bad! I snuck a few pictures but was unable to take a short movie of the fun whirlpool they have there! (I guess they had a guy that was coming to just take pictures of the kids swimming!! SCARY!!--Okay--so this location (by the Meadows mall) is a little ghetto but it was really not crowded and the kids had a ball--AFTER the 'show'!! ;)
