To Beat the Heat

We've had much cooler days this week, but since I'm having trouble keeping up to date with my blog, lets jump back to last week when it was HOT.  We had a few days in the 90's and it took some creativity (and eating dinner in the cool basement) to not turn the air conditioner on.  We knew it wasn't going to stay hot, so we just did some fun things to enjoy it.   We had yet to purchase a garden hose so instead of spraying down the trampoline, I filled buckets with water and put them on there with the boys.

They checked it out and adjusted them.

Then jumped to spill and splash the water.

And jumped around on the wet trampoline.

I did several trips to the outdoor faucet for refills before I put Cooper to the task.

It only slowed down the fun slightly.
Cooper is growing up too fast!

After jumping outside, we went in to make lemonade.

It quenched our thirst and cooled us off nicely!

Beating the heat can be fun!  And now we have a hose and are just waiting for hot weather again!  We also have a little pool I got on a close out sale last summer that we've never used.
