The first Sunburn

As many of you know, the seasons they are a changing.. Which is a good thing.. I am not partial to cold weather. Although I have to endure it every year do to the fact I live in the North East..

I am a person that loves the warm weather.. This past weekend was a beautiful weekend to be outside.. It was in the high 80's and low 90's.. That's pretty good for the end of April. We usually have highs around 65 this time of year..

Well I had two baseball games on this past Saturday for my boys. They were around 10 o'clock in the morning.. The sun wasn't too bad at that time, but by the end of the game I could feel the burn on my legs..

Now I had put sunblock on. it was SPF 30.. Which normally would work on y skin. Yeah that didn't happen this day.. I don't know if it was the brand of sunblock or what it was, but by the time i got home from the games my legs had a nice pink glow to them..

Later that afternoon I had to go to a cousins house to help install a new fence.. I lathered more sunblock on my legs, arms, and face, and began to work.. Reapplying as needed..

Later that night I went to take a shower and was screaming like a little girl from the sting of the water hitting the back of my legs... I finally was able to deal with this sting. So I finished my shower and turned in for the night..

The next day I returned to my cousins house to finish the fence with sunblock and plenty of water in hand..

Once again I lathered all parts of my body that were exposed to the sun with sunblock, and began to work on the fence again..

On this day the temp was in the low 90's and really humid.. Around 12:00 we stopped for lunch.
I went inside to try and cool off, but to no avail my legs were toasted..

We finished the fence around 3. Packed my tools up and headed home.. I got in my house and could barely walk the burn on my legs were so bad.

My legs felt like burnt chicken skin that you cook on a camp fire.. It felt kind of crispy too!!!

So if you plan on being out in the sun all day make sure you have a really good sun block that works with your skin type..

So you know my legs are doing fine this morning.. A bit of a sting, but nothing like it was yesterday...
