Sunburned!

Yesterday Katrina and I went Swimming. The water was really cold the day before so we put the tarp over it and waited, it took a long time for the pool to heat up but Katrina and I finally got to swim. Trina and I had a blast. Trina worked on floating and in the end finally got up to 60 seconds. Amanda came out and saw us swimming so she went in her bedroom got a swimsuit and came out to mom and dad to see if they could help her get in the pool. I told Amanda that I would help her but then mom and dad explained that if she fell in the water she would not know to stand up. After a while we got out and got on the swings and talked and then after a while I went in the house and said "is Amanda ever going to swim" they said yes dad was just getting his swimsuit on. So after a little while dad came out with Amanda and Katrina and I got back in. Dad played with us and lifted us up out of the water. He would lift us out of the water and either hold us or put us on his back. then he would count to 10 and he would drop into the water, it was really fun. Near the end he would move the water in a circle and we would march with him. When we would stop the water would keep on going so if you were kneeling it would pull you. It would stop and Trina and I played fetching the rag from the bottom of the pool. Then we would start again but this time dad wasn't marching he was pushing the water and when we got to where he was pushing the water he would push us. Trina got out and then in and out and in, and every time she would jump in from the slide that dad had pushed next to the pool so it would be easier to get in the water. Then when it was time to get out dad put Amanda on the slide and she slid down and I got on the swings for the second time and dad and Amanda went inside. When we came in we found out we had gotten sunburned and it hurt so mom put Aloe Vera lotion and it got much better overnight but it still hurts some when you scratch certain places. We had a very fun day!!! And today we can't go swimming because of our sunburns. But we are going to go shopping for new school clothes so it will still be a fun day.
