Fun in the Sun

I will confess that I am not a big fan of summer. I especially dislike the beach, which is funny because as I child I participated in surf life saving! I hate humidity, which again is ironic as I lived for while in Townsville...the humidity capital of Australia (well in my humble opinion). I never step outside unless I am top to toe in hat, sunscreen and sensible clothes and I seek out shade like someone with OCD.

But I must say that after lunch today I decided to blow up the paddling pool and sit outside (in the shade of our tree) and watch the kids splash about. They loved it and I loved watching them. Its the first hot day that would warrant a splash about so far this summer and its already 1/2 way through December. Cant say I'm complaining about that though....

These are some of the appropriate photos as both the kids swam in the nuddy. Makes sense really doesnt it - why put bathers on. Lainey is in bathers in some shots though as that's when she was out of the pool and playing around. The suit is 50+ protective so she wouldn't get burnt.
