water aerobics

Some people go to the pool to exercise and some go to play.  My mom goes to exercise and play with her friends.

She took me with her last week to her water aerobics class in Blackfoot.   It was such a fun group of peppy, happy jokesters.  I know why she likes it.  Well, my mom is kind of a social butterfly.  She's happy as a clam in a room full of strangers and the first start a conversation.  My dad often kids with her that grocery shopping for her is more of a social event.

The class was a great workout, too.  I thought I'd just take the biggest styrofoam dumbbells they had at first and my mom warned me, "You probably want these (little ones) to start."  "All right." I succumbed.  And about 15 minutes later I was glad I did!  I don't think I'd be able to move my arms with the big ones.

There are about 18 ladies and a couple of guys that all enjoy the old school tunes and staying active.  Some of them asked how my Dad was.  They pray for him.  I'm grateful for these strangers.


It's not cool to have a post without a picture.  I drew this.  I'm the one with the tiny dumbbells.  The lady next to me is probably 30+ years older.  See what a toughie she is!
