Cute, huh? Just a few things about this.
1. It was cold. Not just the air, but the water. Sunday was a little on the chilly side, hence the sweatshirt and jeans. But it was warm enough for bare feet. It was prime time to set up the pool. But what fills up a pool? Hose water is what. Ice cold hose water. Did I think she would jump in? Nope. But she did.
2. Who is this red-haired little girl? Her hair wasn't red in real life. It wasn't red before this picture or after, but in it, she is straight-up red headed.
3. This is the only time she has spent in this pool since.

Avery joined right in. Fun times here, folks. And early onset hypothermia. No biggie.
A cold, wet day led to a warm, dry night. Hot dogs over the fire for supper? Yup. Oh, and maybe a beer or two consumed by the adults. It's memorial day weekend for cry-eye!
Smores in the wagon? Fo sho. The wagon is our don't-get-to-close-to-the-fire-security-system. Works like a charm.
Monday, we wake up to 80, sunny, and humid. But just because it is hot outside, doesn't mean the pool is hot. It was a balmy, I mean, frigid, 54 degrees. That's four degrees hotter than the day before.

Oh, and the feet-dunking bucket set up by the pool to limit grass intake was her permanent fixture for the day. And today, when the water was 72 degrees, and still too cold for the princess, she still stood in the bucket of cold hose water. But whatevs. As long as everyone is happy, that's all that matters.
I hope everyone had a splendid Memorial Day. We did. It was filled with pool fun, friends, family, food, lemonade, and relaxing. But as my very eloquent cousin said yesterday, "
