Everythings a bit crazy around here - schools ending and summer is getting started in a few weeks, it's already Arizona heat time - 100 degrees some days. Kids are already in the pool. Holden got a lifeguard job at a good City pool which is great! Kids are getting ready for swim and dive team to start. Even though it's so hot here in the summer, I really love it - I sit by the pool and watch the kids swim and watch them compete at their meets and sometimes, in the mornings when all the kids are practicing and the sky is such a pretty shade and the palm trees are swaying in the slight breeze and the color of the pool is that perfect aquamarine, I just think, WOW, what a great way to spend your summers as a kid - I know some people think it's so hot and their kids can't play outside because it's TOO hot and all of that, but honestly, if you have your kids involved in aquatics and you have a pool at home - I can't think of a better way to spend a summer.
