It's getting hot.

We have a neighborhood rec center with four pools - an amenity we take advantage of often. Still, we find a variety of ways to keep cool in the summer months.



The kids each invited a friend over the other day to swim around in the backyard "kiddie" pool. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun the girls have with this hunk of plastic. They played for hours...two days straight. And then it was time to relieve our lawn.
