Things are heating up, so it's time to cool down

Things are definitely heating up around here, and we are doing our best this week to keep cool...a feat that you don't expect to have to accomplish living in dreary Seattle, Washington. This place is known for coffee, Pike's Place, rain, and mild temperatures. Not this week though. Yesterday it hit a record-breaking 102 in Seattle

Considering that we do not have A/C in any homes in the Pacific Northwest, this has been pretty difficult to overcome. We have been getting creative and getting out of the house this past week to do what we can to keep as cool as possible (this includes eating fast food so I don't have to cook in a hot kitchen).

We've spent loads of time at the community wading pool this week:


We splashed:


We bonded:
And we left feeling refreshed:
