Beat the Heat

Ah, those summer days. The only thing to worry about is how to stay cool. Here's how we've been managing:

Water Fights with the Young Women in our ward. As you can see, Abbey was having a great time with the water balloons. That is until she got caught in the cross fire of the water battle. And she let it be known she was not amused.

But all is forgiven and forgotten when the popsicles arrive.

Then it was off to the beach.

I wish! Nope, off to the man-made beach at the Children's Museum. Almost as good. Some world champion sand sculpture artist made this incredible sand castle:

All they had was a few measly ropes and two measly teenage workers guarding the thing. Needless to say, I kept my toddler within grabbing distance at all times.

Mr. Jakey learned a tough lesson with a handful of sand.

Ahh...lazy summer days.
