we went to the water park near us today. i didn't even know it existed! it's amazing and so much fun for the kids. there is a huge shallow pool with fun sprinklers, buckets that poor water, etc. i didn't bring my camera, i wasn't expecting it to be that great. :) i did put sun screen on once, but left it at home. we weren't expecting to stay that long, but we stayed for 5 hours. so.... we got a little burned. i didn't think it was that bad until later the evening. it must have settled a little bit, because now she is soooo red. i feel horrible!!!
here's a pic that slightly shows it. it of course is way worse when you see the complete contrast of white and red, but i was trying to be decent :)

Yikes!! Poor baby!
Oh my... does it hurt? Cindy
Hi Cindie,
I did this earlier this summer. I haven't burned since I was a kid but didn't do the sunscreen in time and totally fried on the beach. What helped me out (because I had burned the backs of my legs ..you know where the crease of your knee is? Every seam in my clothes HURT!) was to take Advil regularly (helped the sting tremendously, and the old standard spray me down with Solarcaine..you know the white can with the blue stripe on it?)
I hope she isn't as bad as I was. Since then, I keep a tube of 50 in my bag. I call it 'sweater in a tube' :)
Love,
Sara
