Day 214

The weather this summer has just been crazy. But I'm not really complaining. I think we have only had our air conditioner on a total of 7 days all summer.

Warm days and cool nights. Awesome sleeping weather. 

Not so awesome swimming weather.

Tonight the 11-year old had his annual football swimming party. Which is great fun, except it is freezing outside. I am wearing a sweatshirt and have a towel over my legs.

But not the children. Oh no. They may be blue-lipped and shivering, but they are not getting out of the pool. 

And there have been some entertaining moments. Like when the life guards changed duty and the cute, tan girl lifeguard replaced the guy. Suddenly all movement from a group of 6th graders ceased. Then they started elbowing each other and looking over while giggling. It wasn't noticeable at all...

Hilarious. Reminded us moms of the scene in the movie Sandlot where the little boy fakes drowning so he can get "mouth to mouth" from the lifeguard...

Tonight's pic represents a child's ability to tolerate frigid waters in the name of fun, and the awkwardness of pre-teen hormones.
