Hot Fun in the Summertime

So it is hot here. Like HOT HOT HOT. High humidity lots of sun. We decided to buy a pool. The kind that you wish was in a backyard- next to the swing set, which is next to the clothes line, which is next to the sandbox. Instead ours is on the deck right off our Master bedroom.

Our next door neighbors ended up hanging their heads out their laundry window staring at the crazy foreigners who turn a deck into a pool. When asked if they would like to come over and enjoy our pool- they happily got their suits on and came on in!

This is the "I will never let my children play with guns" photo. Having a boy changes everything.
Hope you are cool where you are!

Happy to see you finding ways to keep cool and glad Miriam is feeling better. Around here water balloons are a big hit. Take care and have a good summer!

The pool looks fun! It's been hot in Kentucky, too, so lots of time in our plastic pool, also!
Your daughter is so articulate. I enjoyed the last post...not that she was sick, but how she responded to it. What a trouper!
