Beatin' the heat

Our first 10 days here sure were so, so hot and humid! My folks sweetly sprung for a window air conditioning unit for the boys' attic bedroom last week so we were all sleeping pretty well at night (well, A/C doesn't help middle-of-the-night bathroom needs, nightmares, and other general awakenings, so take "sleeping well" with a grain of salt...). Anyway, during daytime hours, we sought alternative ways of staying comfy. These heat-beatin' suggestions are brought to you by William:

Offer to water the flowers. Then go bananas with the hose to get good and wet!


Go really fast on the boat to enjoy a good breeze in your hair.


Hold a cold fish.


Play in kiddie pool.


And if all else fails, just take it all off! (We found him like this outdoors after he'd been playing alone for a bit. His swimsuit and crocs were off in the yard.)
