Summer day at the pool

pool2013-22Let’s keep reminiscing about summer, shall we?  🙂

So it’s kind of become a tradition over the last 5 years or so that Aunt Shelly takes off work on a Friday and drives over to Illinois to meet up with the sister, nephews, and nieces at the pool. It’s usually a 5 hr. or so affair…swim till closing time or hunger sets in- whichever comes first!

It almost makes you feel like a kid again yourself- your job for the day is to go play at the pool with your favorite kiddos and feel the true joy of summer. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I just HAVE to go to the pool at least once, or else I got cheated out of a whole summer!

So, I decided I needed to document these summer days I love so much. These moments are too precious to let slip by without the camera. Plus, these kids will need to know just how cute they were in 2013 and relive these wonderful memories with me down the road.pool2013-1
