Sun Burn!!

My kids are crispy critters! Today was the third day of Summer Camp and the third day that my kids went to the local swimming pool. The schedule of the camp is pretty nice–the kids are separated by age–and for the older ages they are separated into boys and girls. In the mornings they are in their groups playing either kick ball, basketball, going to the park equipment, going to the lounge area or playing lawn games. They have lunch around 11:00am, and after lunch they get changed and walk the 1/2 mile to the swimming pool. They are there for 2 hours, and then walk the 1/2 mile back to the community center where I pick them up.

Each of my kids have their own sunscreen bottle to make sure that they can get themselves as protected as possible. Let me just say–that for the third day in a row–the boys have FAILED the self-protection aspect! They are toasted!! Their poor backs, arms, necks–I’m going to need more Aloe at this point. Tomorrow they have both been instructed to wear their t-shirts over their sunscreen coated backs! They will be either contracting sun stroke–or skin cancer in the next few days—they are 9 and 7–untimely health problems on both accounts!!
