Denise Richards is not letting drama get in the way of her summer fun.

But seriously, how cute is this? Spotted poolside by the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday, the gorgeous actress brings along an inflatable dolphin for her fun-filled afternoon in the sun.

The 42-year-old mom of three appeared effortlessly adorable in a knotted Billboard Music Awards T-shirt, white bikini bottoms, and with her hair in a high ponytail.

Denise looked like a kid in the candy shop prepping for her pool day, but messy matters at home have not been child's play. 

Earlier this month, Charlie Sheen's ex was granted custody of twin 3-year-old boys, Max and Bob, after L.A. Family Services discovered their mom, Brooke Mueller, had been MIA at their residence for long periods of time.

Denise is taking it easy while caring for the boys as Brooke is currently being treated for addiction to prescription drugs.
