D and I went to our neighborhood YMCA Saturday, which is in New Hope, MN. The New Hope YMCA is the kind of Y that I remember from my childhood. Kids everywhere, parents hanging out watching the swimming lessons, gym and weight room busy with people taking classes, running and sweating. Even though the Y of my childhood was older, (a LOT older)

the vibe was still the same. Lots of people of all colors playing together.
We walked on the track which is above the gym. The kids were busy taking a basketball fundamentals class. Nice to see them learning together while the parents watched. There was an exercise class going on across the hall. It just made me happy to be there with so many people.
