Here are some pictures of us. We went on vacation to Kure Beach for a week. I wasn't ready to come home. I used to get sun poisoning when I was a kid but not really, really bad. Bad enough, though. Well, I have it worse than I've ever had it in my life. It's getting better.
We saw a man catch a pelican on a fishing pole at the Kure Beach Pier. It ate his bait!

Glad you had a lovely holiday, your pictures are sweet, do you mean what we call 'sunstroke', where basically your body is overheated through too much exposure???? You look fair skinned too!! :(

Sorry to hear about the sun poisoning. If it makes you fell better, when I was at the beach two weeks ago I had to go the the doctors for dehydration. Almost had to go to the ER for IV. Luckily though I was ablt to skip that and rehydrate myself with gaterade.

You and your family are beautiful. Hope you had a wonderful time except for the sun poisoning.

I'm sorry to hear about your sun poisoning. I'm not sure I understand what it is. I had a smidgeon of heat stroke once camping out in Utah. But, not the same thing, I imagine.

I can see you are very fair and have lovely skin. I wouldn't be pushing it out in the sun, especially if you're sensitive. They've got 70 proof sunblock now!

I don't know that the number matters. Just slather it on and protect that fair skin.

Your kids look fair too. How do they hold up in the sun? I had second degree burns all over my face, back, neck, chest, arms swimming at a pool all day when I was in third grade. My legs were the only things that didn't "crisp" up because they were always under water.

My blisters were the size of walnuts.

Very painful, yet vivid memory. :shock:

Take care of yourself.

Glad you had a wonderful vacation and sorry that you ended up with a bad burn. Used to get that on my lips and nose. The kids looked as if they had tons of fun.

Funny you would say that about yourself. As I was scrolling through your pics, I paused on that one and thought to myself "wow, she is really pretty" You are so young and your skin is so youthful still. Quite a lovely young lady you are.
