Last week as July slinked away and August sneaked up on us, Maddy and I realized that she only had about three weeks until school started!!
Just how did summer zoom by so fast???
We decided then and there that we had not been to the pool nearly enough and vowed to visit at least three times a week, weather permitting!

The weather surely did permit as one afternoon last week, it was 99 degrees with a
103+ heat index!
That's a day just begging for some pool time, isn't it!
So, I left work early, surprised Maddy and off we went to the swimming pool.
Unbelievably, it was not crowded! I'm guessing that the kids that go right at
1 PM had already left and the after-work crowd was not there yet.

No matter, it was perfect -- no crowds, cool water and a silly girl!
What a combination for summer fun!
Maddy usually never wears her hair in piggies.
She rarely wants it pulled back or up, but on this particular day, she agreed to piggies so that it wouldn't all be stuck in her face when swimming! I think it is most adorable!
Generally, I like her hair a bit shorter, like just at chin length as she has a little face, and I love it when her hair gently frames that sweetness!

And then, before we headed out to pick up Muffy at puppy daycare
(where she also enjoyed some pool time),
Maddy was able to chow down on her all-time fave meal -- chicken strips and fries.
I'd call that one perfect summer afternoon! Yum yum!
