Blue Skies


But cool for June.  We have had a good week, except that Robert got a bad sunburn Monday and they have not gotten to go swimming since.  Hannah took it pretty well, but Robert pouted for 2 days.  I told them they could go swimming again Saturday.  They keep asking how many more days.

George is not going to get to be swimming instructor after all.  Robert can already swim.  What he lacks in technique he makes up for in fearlessness.  And, Hannah is afraid of the water.  We will just work getting over being afraid this summer.

Tomorrow, I am going to look for a couple of rash guard shirts for Robert.  They are  made to wear in the water and have added sunscreen protection.  He sure burns easily. 

This has been an easy week and tomorrow is go home early day.

That red hair--easy sun burn. Glad Robert is fearless in the water. Hannah will get over being afraid if you are patient.

Fleta, I would recommend getting on Amazon and buying a long sleeved swim shirt for them. With the long sleeved one all you have to put sunscreen on is their neck, ears, and face. I only worry about putting it on their legs if they spend a lot of time out of the water. I found Benjamin's for $15 each on Amazon this year. I've had to pay $40 each before. You don't need to wash them a lot, just rinse the chlorine out of them and let them air dry. And you shouldn't put them in the dryer as it ruins them.
