"That pink hat," as my mom calls it has been very helpful this summer...Notice that my skin hasn't returned from being beach-color to sunkissed. With this hat, I can hid my face and actually not add more color lol. I had other summer hats before and all of them from straw but this one has the widest brim therefore the bigger shadow to occupy...

I'm not sure if I'd still be wearing a hat when I get older...for now, mom fondly takes pictures of me with it, so I just let it be.

Summer...time to hit the waters and learn to swim! Well, I can swim now but for safety reasons, I still need the "Flügel," hopefully next year I'd be allowed to swim without them.  My brothers are on it too and they will soon learn how, but like me Mom and Dad are being extra careful.

Summers...Mom doesn't like the sun too much because she browns easily, same for us kids but come autumn, our color would pale again.  Sun protection is also important when going out in the summer. A lotion with SPF 30 is best during those fun days...mom would richly lather us!

Don't forget the beach ball, floats, goggles and water gun for additional fun...oh swimsuits and swimwear!!! Mom always buys one size bigger a year before, (read:when they're on sale ;).

Summer means ice cream enjoyment too!
