Well it is finally summer time!! It feels so good to be out of school with free time to relax. I love the summer time, it is actually my favorite time of the year. School is out, it is warm outside, and my birthday is in the beginning of August. What's not to like? Anyways, today a big group of my friends got together to go swimming at the AF rec center. Now, I must admit that getting 'tan' in the summer is always one of those goals of mine that never gets done, but is always on the list. I was excited to go today because it was a beautiful 80 degree day, perfect for tanning, my goal was on to a good start!! Before I went into the pool my mom said "Kaitlyn, I hope you have sunscreen with you." I actually did pack it, but I hadn't decided if I would use it yet. You see, if I put sunscreen on, my tan would not happen as fast, and that would not do at all! I quickly replied that I had some with me... and then I was off to the pool to have some fun. As I walked in, I thought to myself "Oh it is not that hot out here, I don't think I will get burned very bad. It will be fine. And then it won't interfere with my plan to get tan! :)" FALSE. Well, we all had a great time and eventually I forgot about the sunscreen. I stayed for roughly four hours, and when I got home I had a special surprise on my face, my shoulders, and my back. Red Red Red Red Red. I had indeed gotten rid of my lame farmers tan, but I had replaced it with a lobster/white swimsuit line. Much better right? Needless to say, I learned my lesson. My skin is not invincible, and I will be wearing sunscreen from now on.
But only a little bit :)
