Fun in the Sun **Warning some pictures are painful**

Each year I am blessed with the ability to attend our Regions Special Olympics.


It is one of my favorite days of the year.


This year was no different.


We spent the day watching amazing children and adults enjoy a BEAUTIFUL day of good sportsmanship.



Yet, this year, thanks to many hours in the sun
(apparently facing one direction)
I have a poem to share with you.



The day was warm, not a cloud in sight.
This could only mean a day of delight!



A white Irish girl excited to see
The sun in the sky, bright as can be

SPF 50 she did apply
To protect her skin, as not to fry

The day was exciting and full of joy
Forgot to reapply -- Oh boy!

Just hours later her reflection she did see
How in the world did she burn behind her knee?


How many will think they are cleaver and say
"Did you know you got sunburned today?"

"What do you mean?" I counter attack.
"The red glow is an effort to bring the farmer's tan back."


Aloe is her friend which she can not part
Next time, more SPF would be smart.


The End.

  1. Oh, Erin...perhaps you should get some really giant sunglasses as you wear on your face and attach them to your knees, oriented toward the rear.

    At least you didn't have all your teeth removed resulting in a fish-face like that poor girl beside you in photo 5!

    Your ever loving,

    Uncle Tim
