Respite!

It's hot hot hot. Running errands with the kids has become unbearable. The car is a scorching box of death after sitting in a parking lot for more than 5 minutes. As soon as I step outside, I immediately become a sticky sweaty mess. (I hate hate hate summer) 

But that is why Grandma's house has a pool! And we're oh so glad about that! 





My kids can swim! (with noodles) 




It was totally reminiscent of "the good old days" of my summer childhood. My grandparents had a pool- one that was the site of almost every birthday party. (the years it wasn't at the Crystal Palace Skating Rink) Every summer my brother and I practically lived in that pool. Swimming was a huge part of my growing up. I'm so glad I can give my kids the same experience. Although it did make me miss my Grandpa even more.
