Sure, it's only May 6, and it's only in the 70s outside. But the kids have been begging me to let them get out the slip'n'slide since we put away last fall. We bought new swimsuits/shirts today, so I decided to let them try it. I figured they'd dip a toe in the ice-cold water and that would be that.
They never cease to surprise and amaze me. They actually played in the water for about 45 minutes, only coming in when some clouds blew in -- the breeze and the shade finally brought on the shivers.
Can I just say I love the new rash-guard swim shirts? Not only are they super-cute and fashionably modest, but they protect the kids' backs and shoulders from the sun so much better than sunscreen. Some may think I'm a little obsessed, but I believe in going overboard to prevent skin cancer. (A friend of ours died from it this winter after a long miserable fight.) I found these swim shirts at Carter's -- they're on sale for half-off this week.
Anyone know where you can find these in adult sizes?
