Cool Places, Part 3

OK, so you're probably getting the point that it has been HOT, HOT, HOT here these last couple weeks. Sunburned scalps hot. Fans always spinning hot. And, best of all, water play hot.

The kids have been in the pool, the ocean, the sprinkler, the soda basin, and the Igloo cooler at one point or another, trying to beat the heat.

Shea's sweet baby scent has been completely masked with the odor of Babies' SPF 45 and Finn's gotten such a solid tan that his little butt shines ghost white in comparison to his browned torso, arms and legs. Both kids' hair has lightened noticeably. We've been eating copious amounts of frozen yogurt. We haven't worn shoes with backs or closed toes in months.

God, I love summer.
