First Sunburn

I've finally gotten the first sunburn of the season. I had forgotten how painful it was. It surprises me that it took so long for the first sunburn to appear: It is already almost the end of June. It must be because our pool visits are normally only one hour but yesterday I swam for four hours. Also the fact that I never had to get out of the water for thunder contributed to my time in the sun. My sunburn is kind of strange because every part of me is tomato colored now except my stomach. I look like a red penguin. I've heard of the farmer's tan, but the penguin's tan? No country music girl is going to go for that!

Lost Cause

Today I went to the pool with the W's, my cousins. I just found out today that I can't do a flip. Uncle Steve told me it was OK because he had never even tried to do a flip, let alone failed at one. I failed at a billion consecutively. I've been tucking and rolling and SMACK! YOW MY BACK HURTS LIKE THE DICKENS! all day long. Flipping only halfway isn't as bad as flipping 270 degrees. I don't know if the pain in my back is sunburn or the consequences of back flopping for two hours straight.
