Summer fan36

Although, Mazzy decided she didn't like the ocean this summer, she couldn't have been happier in the pool. She would stay in for as long as we let her, rubbing her toes red on the bottom, trying not to swallow water and shivering her ass off. None of it mattered— the girl was in her element. 

Sadly, Mazzy's pool days are numbered as September fast approaches, so today I'm bidding farewell to summer the only way I know how— with a "Fan Photo Album".

All photos were submitted via the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage. I tried to include as many kids as I could, but I couldn't use them all. If you submitted a picture and it's not here, it's probably because I couldn't think of a caption. I hope we can still be friends.

Without further ado, I present "BABES OF SUMMER 2012"…
