It's been crazy heat alert hot here this week. We have still been going out but for shorter periods. We were out this morning for only an hour. I usually give one of them the hose with the nozzle set to "mist" and they get pretty cool that way. We did water balloons yesterday and today they just kind of ran around. We baked before we went outside. I don't like to bake a lot in the summer but we have air conditioning and it allowed us to make tomorrow's am snack.
