What do you do when it is raining ☔ and you have come one thousand, six hundred and seventy one miles to swim in Shug's pool?? You swim in the rain!
We have had some very uncertain weather this Summer. I'll be honest....the Summer months here in Texas can be brutal with not only the heat, but the humidity as well. I love June, July, and August, because my kiddos are out of school.....BUT the 100 + degree days are miserable.
Our California kids have been looking so forward to coming to Pops and Shug's house, as they were excited about being able to swim with cousins. They arrived late on Wednesday evening and were up and ready for the pool by 10:00 AM yesterday morning. RAIN...RAIN...and more RAIN was falling which left a few frowns on their faces.
Rain drops can't stop this crew!! What did they all do? They swam in the rain!! It rained all day, with a small break around 4:00. How about a night swim?? Yep....they went swimming again last night around 9:00 and stayed in until the timer on the lights surrounding the pool turned off. I LOVE IT!!
As most of you can probably tell....I post a whole lot about family. One thing I enjoy about having my blog made into books each year, is that I forever have the memories that we can look back on.
(What you do between swims.....play with toys and lego's)
For lunch yesterday, we had fried chicken, creamed potatoes, fried okra, Mac and cheese and sweet Southern tea. The day before, I made Texas Sheet Cake cookies....(they are all gone!)
Just saw the weather report for the upcoming week....more Rain expected.
????
Happy Friday to you all. You all are Awesome!!
Shug....☔
Those are memories they will have forever! I love your love of family. I feel the same. The cookies look delicious. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome! Once in the pool, you are already all wet, so who cares if it is raining! Even better than dancing in the rain! You are giving the kids adventures that they will remember all their lives!
ReplyDeleteRain or shine, it sounds like your family made the most of their time at Shug’s pool! Swimming in the rain is such a fun and memorable experience, and it’s great to hear the kids enjoyed both daytime and night swims. It’s wonderful that you capture these moments on your blog and have them preserved in books. Thanks for sharing this joyful family memory! READ MY NEW BLOG POST> THANK YOU>
ReplyDeleteLooks like they made the most of it despite the rain!
ReplyDeleteNow that we are home, if you still want our Alaska itinerary, post your email address as a comment on our blog. I will not post the comment with your email address on it but could then send you the itinerary!
Looks like fun even in the rain! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI love that last quote you shared Shug!! Ha ha, I do wonder why that shoe fell off.
ReplyDeleteI would go swim in the rain too, as long as it was warm.

What a wonderful time spent with family, Shug. So glad your California kids made it safely to your house. Looks like they are having a blast even with all the rain. They have the coolest Legos out right now. Your Texas sheet cake cookies look amazing. They would go nicely with my coffee right now. ; )
