swimmingThis morning I’ve been busy packing the swimming gear and the grill into the car and getting ready for a day at the lake.   The kids will probably be up any moment now, and the house will spring to life within seconds.   Even though I wanted to sleep late, I decided to get up before everyone else and start packing the car.   I knew if I didn’t pack the swimming gear ahead of time, as soon as everyone got up they’d want to open everything and have it in the back seat beside them on the way to the lake.   The last thing I need to do is look in the rear view mirror and see a bunch of inflatable swimming toys that had been inflated so I packed them and put the ice chest on top of them.    I was thrilled when I went online several weeks ago and found a bunch of swimming gear for a great price.  I hadn’t even been to the local stores but when I saw the prices I knew that no local stores could beat it.  I placed the order and it was delivered to the door.  I never had to leave the house.   I love that kind of shopping.
