Clouds In July!?

The heat in Vegas is brutal.

The sun out here is downright MEAN.

Sweet Mother Nature must have decided to take pity on Claire and all the other little girls of Las Vegas that yearn to celebrate summer. Mrs.Nature couldn't possibly continue to ignore the look in Claire's eyes lately, as everyday she longingly gazes out of the stairway window, past the dirty glass and beams of sunlight, to the BIG BLUE POOL. Oh, those pitiful little baby whimpers and big brown eyes...She wants nothing more than to hop right into that big water-filled circle of fun!

It has just been impossible for us to remedy this dilemma.

We refuse to let that MEAN, MEAN sunshine take advantage of our sweet, sweet little girl. But, because we deprive her of this dream, we are the ones seen as MEAN, MEAN.

Trust us, she knows how to give a cold baby shoulder. Brrrr.

BUT...

Today was a different story, a different song.

Today we were all best friends and there were no cold baby shoulders in sight.

Today Claire got to jump right into that big, water-filled circle of fun because the MEAN, MEAN sun decided to hang out behind the clouds (YES, THERE WERE CLOUDS IN THE SKY!) for an entire afternoon.

She gladly let me slather her in sunscreen that had enough SPF to protect us all, and ate up every minute of the afternoon outside, as well as some yummy vanilla yogurt.

Back to business as usual tomorrow, but we will continue to bask in the glory (and 103 degree temperatures) until this day is done!
