Playing in the Heat

It's so horribly hot right now.  As I type this, it's 110 degrees outside, and still climbing.  Gross.  I always wish I were in Utah during the summer time, but we've been making the best of the hot weather, and enjoying playing despite it.  :)  We decided to make an early exit from the house one morning to ride bikes... with the hope that we could beat the heat a little.  I was impressed that the kids stayed so cheerful riding their bikes and playing on the playground while sweating....

Claire loves cherries... except for the pits :)

After the park we ran several errands - after shopping, we made a stop for Hawaiian shaved ice.  It was absolutely delicious!

Later Emma's friend, Sarah, came to play - we made lava lamps.  It was an understatement to say they were a hit.  :)

We ended our busy fun day with a trip to the water park...  It's our new home away from home.  :)
