Bust out the swim trunks

San Antonio has the most unique and vacillating weather patterns of any state I have visited. Winter months consist of a cluster of warm days (70+) and then a sudden stint of cold weather (50 or so degrees). It makes life interesting and difficult in so many ways. For example, when Mia gets ready for school, we never know what to send her with. The morning could feel freezing and by the end of school she is roasting. It also throws our systems for a loop since we can't ever really adjust. I always felt like the blood had a chance to thicken during the winter months then as the temperatures warmed up to the 50's, the body would feel the need to dawn spring clothes. For us, 50 feels freezing and then when it jumps to 80 the next day, we are searching for the pool.





This past week was such the case. We invited some friends and tried the sprinkler ball. A few days later we tried our newest water toy, the Crocodile Chomp. I should have tried the set up before I had hot kids waiting for fun. I tried to be quick, but I totally set it up wrong and no one cared.

We had a few readers in the group who happen to glance at the Warning label and instruction manual. Due to their literacy, I wasn't able to try out our new slide and yet they didn't seem to observe the slide with hand out in front and no running on the slide rule. Poor Talia had to wait and watch while everyone else had all the fun.




You know you want to come out and show me how to set it up correctly. Just remember to bring plenty of sunscreen, swimsuits, and clothes to layer with.
