Swimming=Burning=Boiling

A few days ago we got invited by Emma's Mom, Tracy to their neighbour's pool. Their deal is: her hubby (Emma's Dad) mows their neighbour grass and they can use the pool. Great deal!

So we went, us and the kids. This week has been brutally hot - in 95s, somewhere it was 102, crazy! So I put sunblock on kids, from head to toes but I missed myself in two spots. My chest and under my eyes. Funny that I had my arms half burnt, because I put it on me in certain places, getting distracted as I was doing it. Later result was VERY bad for me. I has been 4 days and it still hurts. Will have to be better with it from now on!

Kids had so much fun! Brandon, as our only man, acted like one. He carried my heavy lunch bag, would not give it up to me. He helped Kyra put his mask on and accompanied her to the side of the pool. There was a wasp that was bothering kids. He got it from one swap for them.

Another interesting thing was that Tracy and me were talking about how our firstborns did not like losing. A chance came - Carly and Brandon decided to race each other. What happened next? As soon as Brandon saw he was losing, he... turned around and swam backwards. He did that trick twice until Kyra yelled that he was cheating. We were just watching to see what would happen. Carly did not get mad. Brandon just said that he did not know they raced to one side of the pool. I betcha it would not work every time. This one he was lucky :))

4 hours went soooo quickly! We all had a lot of fun! Great start of the week - sun, swim and friends! That what summer is about! :)
