Stayin' Cool

Whew!  It has been a week of findin' a way to get cool, be cool, and stay cool.  And has it ever been fun!  I have a feelin' the rest of the holiday weekend might involve much of the same.

Beachin' it locally.

Our 5th annual trip to Irvine Park.  Just checkin' in on the animals.

For the record, I never intended or noticed that Piper's head essentially has a halo.  But she certainly noticed it, and cried when she first saw the picture, hehe. Something about a lion? (To compare the previous 4 years of pictures at this exact location, click here.)

Next up, splashin' in the fountains!

Even Piper got into it a little bit this year.



















We've also indulged in our fair share of popsicles, iced coffees (me), and ice cream in further attempts to stay cool in this incredible WI heat.  We dragged our poor friend Cyndy (who was a trooper!), out to a picnic at the park yesterday in the 90+ degree heat.  We soon returned to try out the sprinklers instead!  Next on the list: tryin' not to pop the 3rd slip n' slide of the summer :).
