SO glad we did this! DD and I were at the outdoor pool for 3 hours yesterday afternoon. She played in the zero entry area and we swam around together. We took a break after an hour or so to sit in the shade and eat lunch, and then got in again. It was so fun! Close to her naptime, I just changed her into a regular diaper, brought her home, and put her down. (She did play in her crib for about 10 minutes before going to sleep - I think she was just overexcited!)
I also went to a class this morning. For some reason, the gyms here have a low rent version of the Les Mills classes. I have always gone to BodyPump, so I went to the "Group Power" class, which was essentially BodyPump with crappier music. It was fine, and I will be going again! Charlotte went to the daycare and played with bubbles; DH stayed home to hang pictures and paint our windows. All in all, a super morning!
Re: Update on joining the gym
I belonged to a small gym in Florida, with your basic equipment and classes. I like it and went regularly. I would never go now, though... It didn't have a daycare or any fun family stuff. This new gym is pricey, but I mainly joined for the family amenities.
My husband opted out, but I think he'll want to join so he can come to the pool with us.
