Mom asked us if we put on sunscreen while we were getting ready to go to the public pool. I know I had. I always make sure that I use it on any part of me that is exposed, since I tend to burn if I don’t. We all have fair skin in my family. I was just getting my beach bag together when I heard my brother also tell mom that he did put sunscreen on. Great! We were finally going to the pool. I couldn’t wait to meet up with my friend Rachel. All of us had a nice time. We ate lunch at the snack bar and didn’t go home until just before dinner. I heard my brother moan a bit afterward. He was beet red and looking for the aloe lotion. He did get a sunburn on most of his body. I teased him since I did not get burned.
