Sunburn

Sunburn is nature's hangover.  You have to pay for the fun you had the day before.

Sure... we have sunscreen.  It is a wonderful invention, but it is rarely as effective as you think.  Personally, I forget to reapply as the day wears on... I think I'm fine.  My skin feels warm, but that is the point of being in the sun, right?

Today was a sneaky day... the sun was warm, but the clouds were just thick enough where the sun wasn't too bright.  AND there was a breeze.  I didn't put on nearly enough sunscreen.  My neck is a bit crisp today.

The worst part about it, though... Grayson got his first sunburn.  It isn't bad, but he certainly has a rosy glow to his cheeks and nose.

The good news is that he doesn't seem bothered by it.  It isn't bad at all, and it will be gone by Tuesday for sure.  Of all the firsts we've been tracking (first "mama", first banana, first time rolling over), this is one that probably won't make the baby book.  It is, however, something that will happen more, especially with summers at the lake.

Welcome to your first summer "hangover."  I still think the boat ride was worth it.
