Keeping Cool

In the last week of June, we were hit by a heat wave.  Temps climbed into the 100's all week, although the humidity wasn't too bad, so it could've been worse.  We spent our fair share of time at the pool that week and all summer, but during the heat wave we also beat the heat in our own backyard.  Like last summer, our homemade water slides have been a big hit.  Unlike last summer, Keira got comfortable almost immediately and independently slid over and over again.  Elijah continued to love them this year, and even got adventurous by sliding down on his tummy, face first.



After what seemed like hundreds of times down the hill, both kids were finally ready for a snack and a giggle.




After their snack, they decided to change it up a bit and take a dip in the baby pool.


The next day was hot again, so the kids wasted no time getting back to the water slide.  This time I decided to join them.  So much fun!
