Lab rat skin

Here in Kearney there is a pond that people are allowed to swim in. It's a little bit scary. They put something in the water that makes it green, and kind of thick. Nick thinks it's to keep algae from growing, and I tend to lean towards algae. Anyway, it also keeps you from seeing your feet. I don't like to not see my feet. Like I said, it's scary.

Nick was wearing his patented swim shirt, and I was just wearing my new swim suit. Needless to say, my shoulders, back, and neckline were exposed for the second time this year. Luckily no one looked directly at them; I would hate to blind someone. It started to get chilly (at least I thought so) after an hour or so. We got out and laid in the sun for 10-15 minutes to dry our suits before heading home. That's the only time that Nick took off his shirt. Nick's face was looking a little pink, so we left.

Both of our shoulders burned. Again, I ask, who has the lab rat skin?

You do!!! LOL I am so funny! Jared is the same way. He will tease me to no end about putting on spf 50 and then if he goes out for an hour he is burned and I take at leats two and a half to burn (I must cook more slowly, actually that makes sence that you would have to thaw me. LOL)

Hey! Nick is the one that slathers on the sunscreen. I use it only if I'm going to be out in the sun all day, for several days.

And, in my defense, I'll add that it wasn't even apparent that either one of us were burned until the next day.
