Wading in the water....riiiiight.
Jeans are fine, really.... we did think the other day we didn't mention that.... seems we assume if it's sunny you'd rather have shorts than a dress. But definately, bring jeans if you think that's what you'd rather be in! I am planning to change into clam diggers.
Just wading! No swimming!
Shorts or long pants, either is fine. I myself will decide which to wear that morning, depending on the current weather conditions.
I do it all the time... year 'round... it's good fer yer feet. Feels great. Honest.
Well...just give us an idea of what to expect in the way of temperature ranges and all and say "dress appropriately".
Maybe I'd better look at the climate data for Seattle in June. :)
Methinks eloping woulda been easier, and saved folks the trouble of freezing themselves to death.
'Course the last time I did that, they said the average high in KC for Feb was 42. :)
If it gets below freezing, I'll put a jacket on over my Hawaiian shirt.
I think we've already done that! Anything could happen in the morning and then something comepletely different in the afternoon. That week you could feel sun, rain, clouds and cool mornings. Temp range 50-80. Bring shorts, bring sweatshirts, bring tees.... Really, if it is sunny, it'll feel like Florida in January did. It's been nice like that alot this spring.
Horses on the Hobbitcam!
Me too ;~D
Oh dear... I have gone and done it. Went to the water park today, Elf-boy was there for three hours with some of his buddies, babygirl and I were there for a little over an hour. My kids were protected from the 90 degree weather, but I FORGOT TO PUT SUNSCREEN ON MYSELF.
I am just a bit tender. Gonna have a farmer tan from you know where though... if it ever tans. LOL! (I don't usually tan unless I am out in the sunshine *alot*.)
Temp range 50-80...gotcha!
Understood... but there's no bitey things in the waters here. Not a single one. The closest thing to a shark is a relative of sandsharks called "dogfish". They're small, and I suppose if you caught one and held it up and stuck your finger in it's mouth it might bite... but even then it might just hurt a little. Actually a salmon probly has bigger and more painful teeth.
They don't bite anything, well, "off".
Nothing bites here. Even the sand fleas *here* don't bite. The fish don't bite. The seals don't bite (people). The otters don't bite (people). The absolute worstest thing might be the occasional red jellyfish... but they're uncommon and you really gotta work at it to get stung... they only sting a little... sorta like a mild sunburn, and it goes away.
It is a wonderous world of harmless wildlife. It's God's country.
Oh dear...
Yikers.
I've got so much Norway in me that I don't really tan at all. I burn. Sorta explains why the Vikings never plundered the Carribbean.
Rationally, I know all of this. But you should know also, that the summer after I saw Jaws I refused to go swimming in any of the numerous freshwater lakes where I grew up. I was 12. Phobias aren't rational!
Besides, I'm an Earth sign. I just don't feel comfortable in the water... ;)
Heh! I was wearin clam diggers, no shoes, and short sleeves. My feet, legs from knees down, hands, and arms are red as lobsters. My nose is pretty much red as well. I think this burn will fade some by tomorrow, but one never knows about these things. Just in case, I am not planning on wearing shorts any time soon. Boy would that look funny!
I am *so* thankful I wasn't wearing a swimsuit (I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one o' dem anyway). Wow! Would I be crispy then!
