Kinley and I recently made a trip to the swimming pool to try and beat the heat. As soon as we arrived, we did the usual pre-swim routine; swim diaper, potty break, sunscreen application, etc. I had only grabbed Kinley's SPF 50 sunscreen but decided it was probably appropriate for my extremely pasty skin as well.
After about an hour and a half in the pool, we loaded up our belongings, hit McDonalds on the way home, and went home to recover from the outing. After being home for about 30 minutes, my shoulders started to feel a bit hot. I began to inspect my shoulders and found a pretty good sunburn. This sunburn of course began to worsen as the day went on and I even ended up with some blisters. So my question, mostly to "Banana Boat", how on earth do you get sunburned after using SPF 50??? What does that say about me? Is it because the majority of my body has not seen the sun in about 10 years? And why I ask you, did Kinley leave the pool unscathed???
On a some what separate note, to the parents of the 2 little girls that would not leave me alone at the pool. Please, oh please, teach your children that you should never hang on strangers. More importantly, please teach them that it is never okay to announce to said stranger, "oops, I peed in the pool" and then giggle about.
May your trip to the swim pool be less painful then mine.

Only you would that happen too!!!
Yea, it sounds like you need to get out in the sun a little more. All that white probably attracted the sun like some magnetic force. Where was the sunless tanner???
I know how you feel about the other kids in the pool. THe other day we were swimming, and one little girl jumped on my back and started to untie my halter top!! That would have been a shock hu?
Better luck next time.
By the way what happened to everything between posts, do you have an apartment yet or what???
So glad my child cannot even crawl yet. No trips to the pool for us for at least another summer or two. So I need you to email me...cynthi21@hotmail.com...I made our blog open by invite only so I want to make sure you can get to the good stuff...but I don't have your address.
Ouch! We know all about sunburns at our house!
Abby gets amazing tan lines even when I use SPF 50 every time she is in a suit. I don't think it is all it is cracked up to be.
