Girly Cream for a Manly Sunburn?

Well... we have left the paradise that we have known and called home for the past couple of days and reality has hit... Hard. With a big metal bat right in the groin. Okay, it wasn't that bad but I promise it's pretty close. 
We're sitting here in the hospital parking lot... and after... ohhh, about an hour of exploring, playing draw something, and banging out pushies in the parking lot (aka doing pushups), I decided that now is as good of a time as any to do this decent to mediocre at best update thingy. Oops, did I just say hospital? How did we end up here, you may ask. That is a very good question. Gather round children. Let me tell you a little story. 
So this is the first time Andrew has ever been to the beach. Yayyyy Andrew! It's about time you crawled out from under that rock of yours and lived a little. Sheesh. Andrew had a pretty good first beach experience. Why did I just say "pretty good" you ask? Well, there was one thing holding him back... only one measly, simple, little thing kept him from leaping from "pretty good" into greatness. And that one thing? SUNSCREEN. Yes folks, poor Andrew forgot to put sunscreen on his poor little tootsies (feet). The warm kiss of Apollo was not quite as gentle as Andrew had envisioned. So here we are. Sitting outside Coastal Carolina Hospital urgent care hoping for a miracle cure.
So what do you think guys? What will they be able to do for this sunburn, folks? According to Donnie in OTCs our fourth year, there is really not much we can do for sunburn. The main thing is prevention. But we gotta do something right? Come on kids, think harder. Should we spray Windex on them? Soak them in bleach? Sprinkle fairy dust on them? Bottle unicorn kisses and leprechaun beard trimmings and mix them into fresh bald eagle turds to rub onto his feet? Comment below if you have any predictions, ideas, suggestions, home remedies, secret potions, or if you just want to make fun of Andrew. We'll keep you posted.
Remember kids: always wear sunscreen. Apply 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure and then reapply frequently throughout the day to ensure adequate coverage after water exposure or vigorous activity involving sweating. 

Reflections: 1. Always wear sunscreen. 2. If you're not sure, wear sunscreen. 3. When in doubt, refer to rules 1 and 2.

Saying of the day: How's the feet buddy?!

Isn't it ironic that the Draw Something Quick Guess of the day was sunburn??
