Day at the Pool

Wednesday we took the kids to the pool. We had been hoping and praying that the weather would #1 - stay hot and #2 - not turn to rain. And the weather Gods did their job and kept our planned pool day hot and steamy with plenty of sun!

Ella is terrified of water, among a million other things, so she spent the entire day coloring in the shade.



That is completely fine by me because I am just about as paranoid as you can get when it comes to her sensitive skin. I douse her with so much sunscreen that she turns all read because her skin can't breathe! Oh well, I can keep her hydrated but there isn't much else you can do to keep her from getting burned!

The other kids (and I am including Dustin when I say "kids") had a blast in the water. By the end of the day we were all exhausted and I was sooooo glad I had already pre-made dinner that morning. I'm not quite sure how a lazy day at the pool can wear you out so much....but it certainly does!
