Lake Day

We’ve been busy going and doing around here!  Uncle M and Auntie N are visiting and brought their adorable granddaughter A.  She is 2.5 and is such a sweet little girl.  Bug and Boo love her! 

We decided to have another lake day last week so we packed up the kiddos and spent some time soaking up the sun!

We swam, and ate, and read, and swam some more! 

Boo has been getting “sick” lately and we finally realized that it is the sun! 

After spending the day at the lake for my birthday she started to get a fever… for the third time within two weeks…and Papa said, “Do you think it might be too much sun?”  I thought back and realized that all three times we’d spent most of the day outside.  I don’t know if it is because her hair is so dark it just soaks up the sun or what, but she will be going along 100% and all the sudden get really tired and want to lay down.  She starts feeling warm and gets a fever that shoots up to around 102 (102.6 was the worst).  So after realizing that might be the problem I just made her drink a lot of water and keep a hat on whenever she was in the sun and that seemed to do the trick.  She had no side effects from this lake day.

Peanut was really sleepy, and I was afraid she wouldn’t take a nap like she did on my birthday, but Noni ended up walking around with her until she fell asleep. She got a short nap but it was enough to keep her from being too cranky that evening. :)

It was nice to spend another day at the lake.  The only thing missing was T…he had to work.  Hopefully we’ll get a few more lake days before fall hits! I am loving these warm summer days!
