"X" marks the spot

Thursday night we headed up to Jeanette's house in Garland for the weekend and on Friday we went to Bear Lake with Jeanette, Erin, Laura and families. It was really windy when we got there but it calmed down AFTER Tom and Kendall got back from "sailing". I think they were holding on for their lives more than anything hoping the boat wouldn't tip over. Desi LOVED the water, especially splashing and standing on the shore waiting for the next wave to come up. She even got mad when I took her out of the water to warm her up.
Don't worry, I made sure to keep her covered with sunscreen and sometimes a jacket.I just forgot to cover myself with a little something..."X" marks the spot where I didn't get sunburned. And yes it feels as bad as it looks!I think between Kendall, Tom and me, we will be making sure to slather on the sunscreen for this week's campout and I will definitely bring a bottle of vinegar. Who knew it takes the sting out of a sunburn? Thanks again Erin for putting up with the stink of it to put some on my back. (Sammy wanted to be in the picture too.)

Oh my goodness girl what were you thinking??? That looks so painful! I hope you are feeling a little better now! I can't even sleep at night when I get burned like that!

I love the picture of Tom and Desi! Her swimsuit is so ADORABLE. Sorry about your burn, I'm sure it hurts to move. Let me know what I can do for you. I am, after all, your visiting teacher!

Desi is so adorable in her little swimsuit! Sounds like she is a little water baby, not surprising since she loves bath time so much.

If X marks the spot, make sure you find the treasure! (Or at least the coupon for SUNSCREEN!) Hope that heals up fast!

I love the vinegar trick! There has been many a night when I have gone to bed smelling like vinegar!
