I did not take pictures while at the pool. IF I had, then I would have titled my photos "Why bikinis should have a weight limit"...seriously ladies take a good look at yourself before you go out in public in a bikini. Ewww. Actually, I did not take pictures at the pool because I
There were frequent dips in the pool to cool off. I bought some sunscreen I really liked. It is Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 30. I slathered it on every 6 minutes, yes I'll admit my paranoia, and not a hint of sunburn. Plus it was not greasy. Go buy.
Thurs. the weird weather that hit parts of the nation, hit Arizona. It was cloudy and in the low 70's. What? That was a lazy, nap taking, book reading day for me, while hubs was attending some conference sessions. Friday morning when we left it was like 55 degrees. What, what, what?????
I did get to play with my camera, just not at the pool. Right outside our balcony the palm trees were getting haircuts.
The roses and desert flowers were gorgeous.
Early Tues. morning, at like 2am, the Marine begins his final test. It is called The Crucible. It is a 54 hour hike...with only 8 hours of sleep and 3 meals. It is the culmination of all of their training. It will be physically, mentally and emotionally grueling. Once they have conquered the Crucible, then they receive the Eagle, Globe and Anchor pin and officially go from being a recruit to a Marine. He will graduate on June 6th. We leave Sat. for San Diego. We will have a few days of vacation and then Family Day, which is the first day we will get to see the Marine, at the base is on Thurs. followed by Graduation on Friday. We are so incredibly proud of him and can't wait to see him.
Pray for him as he takes on this huge final challenge!
Tomorrow is Memorial Day and I do believe some yard work will be in order. Bummer yes, but totally necessary!
