Fun in the Sun

Posted by The James Family at 2:11 PM

We all know how HOT it has been here lately. And Lily Grace just loves to be outside but it is already so hot by 9 in the morning and the bugs are so bad late in the evening that it makes it hard for us to get outside as much as we like. So Thursday I finally filled the pool up with water for the first time. We could actually stand the heat being in the water! Now, after two hours of sitting out there, the water felt like bath water and it wasn't as nice but for two hours it was great! I thought two hours was plenty of time out in the sun but of course Lily Grace thought other wise. It took about 20 minutes to get her in the water and about 10 minutes to get her to sit in it, but once she did she had a blast. We have to start doing this lots more this summer!!
