Day Demon

As some of you may know, our little Katie is very sun conscious. She is always the first to be seen at the beginning of each day slathering up with sunscreen and making sure every patch of skin is protected with a generous amount. While on our trip here in Costa Rica we have been doing lots of hiking and enjoying lots of time outside. It has been a real challenge for Katie to keep up with the sunscreen and block out these strong equator rays. While the use of sunscreen is helpful, Katie prefers to just have no sun on her skin at all. We always try to find the shady spot on the beach and walk on the shady side of the street during the day. After purchasing a stylish explorer hat, Katie was even better prepared to combat the sun. Opting for even further protection Katie can often be seen wearing a sweater in the heat of the day or draped in her handy wrap which she always carries with her. 

One day on our road trip with Shuli, Katie was wearing her sweatshirt and she put up the hood. Shuli and I began to laugh at how silly this looked and said that she looked like a demon. A day demon, since normally demons come out in the dark but this one only shows itself during the day. And so the joke began. Katie was the day demon. I really liked seeing day demon in a variety of settings and enjoying many different activities. It became a hobby of mine along our travels to capture day demon in action.

Sometimes Day Demon reveals herself to be the cute little Katie she is but always remembers to keep her chest, shoulders and face covered!

Day Demon loves road trips!

And Photography!

So stylish Day Demon!

I joke and tease her but I do believe that all this sun protection is going to keep our beautiful Katie looking young and fresh for years to come! Her demon ways have even rubbed off on me and I have been taking equal measures to guard against the sun. It is lucky that Katie's Aunt Jewel is an expert in skin care and has shared lots of wise advise about the importance of sun protection. Her mom and grandma are also big fans of the shade so Katie has had years of training in her Day Demon ways. In 50 years when Katie and I are sitting in our rocking chairs talking about the good old days we will be looking fabulous and wrinkle free!
