A Day of Fun in the..Sorta Sun

To those of you who know me, going out in the sun is not something I do often with Lily. Most of the time I take her and the boys out once the sun is going down. Because of her cardiac meds, to much sun exposure, it can cause her to have a stroke. So..mommy worry bells go off and she doesn't get to go out very often.

Well the other day I took the kids outside while it was slightly over cast, but still hot and relatively humid. Being the SoCal girl I am, I know that even if it is cloudy, doesn't mean you can't get burned. Slapping sunblock on all three munchkins, we headed down stairs for some fun in the covered up sun. Our neighbor provided the kids with a hose, needless to say, next thing you know, all the kids are outside. We all had a blast, (Yes I joined, I am still a kid at heart). The kids played for 2 hours in the water, then once dried off, they played more on their scooters and such. Needless to say, they were all ready for bed, I think they all fell asleep no more then 5 minutes after I laid them down.

Lily was protector of the tap, she stayed back there and giggled as she watched the kids run around and play. She knows better then to get in the middle of all the older kids, it's not that they want to hurt her, they all just get carried away

Oh no....she left the water all alone.

But she looked oh so cute
The little tongue stuck out, I usually don't get a picture of it while it is out, but she wasn't looking so I captured it.

Here are the boys, soaked and having a blast.

My ham, a spitting image of his daddy, except the chubby cheeks. He always poses for pictures with a grin on his face.

We are trying to beat the heat, which is a hard thing to do in Phoenix, heck what am I talking about. Its all of Arizona, well from about the central half of the state and down.

I hope every one's summer is off to a great start, wait...is it officially summer yet??

Nope..just checked the calendar...it's still spring.

We're off to a roaring start

Love, hugs, and blessings
