So I had the hubby take them to the pool .. some times kiddies have to learn things the hard way .. LOL
Speaking of that....I played softball in a womens' league and managed to pull a muscle in each leg. The heated water was so healing...the buoyancy of the body in water helped to use those muscles without resistance to work thru the soreness.
I have a large jacuzzi here which I especially liked after a day of trimming sheeps feet or doig the meds routine with them....soothing to the tired, sore body.
