Heat Wave

This week Seattle had a record breaking heat wave, and since no one has AC in their homes it was quite hot. . .Andrew was out backpacking with the scouts for High Adventure so it was just the kids and me and we were able to do a lot to escape the heat or at least have fun with it. We went to parks and museums and ate out at restaurants every night. This weekend the Blue Angles came up to Seattle for Seafair and did an hour air show. We were able to go to a park with our friends the Mills and the Harwards right on Lake Washington and play in the water and watch the air show. It was a really fun afternoon!


This was one of the only semi good pictures I got of the Blue Angles.

Brent was trying to make a sand castle. . .I think he only managed a sand mound.

Anna couldn't get enough of the water! She would have loved to stay there all day!

Brent didn't want anything to do with the water. . .though I can't blame him, it was kind of dirty, gross water with dead fish everywhere!

Anna kept trying to go as deep as she could, sometimes that meant that the water was to her chin and when a wave would come it would go over her head. The woman is fearless!

The kids were a little tired at the end of the day and never made it to their beds.

  1. You are so lucky to be near a beach!! We need to come visit you :-D, and not just because you have a beach close by. That looks like the best way to beat the heat. Anna is a doll! If we were there, Carolyn would be in the sand with Brent (she doesn't like to get wet, even when there aren't dead fishes in the water, lol) and Lilia would be with Anna getting into everything! You are way more fun than I am, LOL
