They Grow Up Too Fast!

It has been HOT here! With no air conditioner, the heat seems to be amplified! So to give the kids some relief I set up the small blow up pool. They were having a good time playing while I sat just inside the sliding glass door working on the computer. Now, before I get yelled at, I can see the pool out of the corner of my eye and it is less than 8 feet from me at the computer.
But the next thing I know, I look out and see a sight that brings me to my knees. In laughter that is. When I was able to lift myself from the floor and wipe the tears from my eyes, I ran for the camera. I told Celia not to move so that I could capture this on film and forever use it as blackmail! Not sure what Carissa was thinking when she asked me to take a picture of her the same way. I guess embarrassment is not in their vocabulary yet and they do not realize the extent of how I will haunt themwith this in their teen and adult years. Here is the sight I saw, which I am sure will make many return appearances in about 15 years.
