Hot cha cha
To ensure the children wouldn't kill eachother in the heat yesterday, I took them to the playground first thing in the morning. The water mixed with the sand made for a perfect mess.The water shooting from the colorful mat pops up in random order and intensity, startling Dylan every time without fail.
I let them run wild as we were the only ones there. When I felt that they were tired, thirsty, and dirty enough, we went for lunch.Last night the kids were able to swim in the pool with Mark's mom while we bailed hay. We did about 300 bails in two hours. Not too bad seeing that the inside of the barn was easily 20 degrees hotter than outside.
Needless to say, all four of us crashed not too long after we got home. I won't complain too much, because I do realize there are people who live with this temperature much, much longer than we do. We are also going to have some cooler weather tomorrow.

I have never in my life seen a playground the likes of that one before. WOW! How do you ever get them to leave?
Love the pics, excellent!
Quindigo- the park was just done over not too long ago. It's a pretty bad ass park. It's always a fight to get out of there. Always.
Mike- thank you.
I've just managed to get my supernanny license, if you need any help up that way...hint hint. Well, if it's cooler than it is down here. No sense in exerting myself if I'm just going to expose myself to blast furnace weather. I can do that without incurring travel expenses.
Still, I would love to bail hay. I could cry just thinking about it. Damn you and your perfect life.
Jock- today should be much cooler than it has been. You're more than welcome to come on over to bail some hay with us. My arms are still shredded from last week, but in this area, it's something to show off. Bring your tea and let me know what time your flight comes in.
