Beating the heat

This heat has been quite something! We have been holeing up indoors in the air conditioning or playing in the water outdoors. We had a fun day at Baylor Beach on one such hot, hot day. The kids played and played with all the fun things that they have to do there. There were slides all around the water, Kailyn could do all but the one in the deep end. Javin liked the challenge of log roll. It got the best of him several times. He came home with several bruises and cuts. The high diving board is always a favorite for Javin so, he got in a few jumps. The water was dark and green. So dark that you couldn't see your legs in the water. Weird! It was a fun day just the kids and I to be together. Javin and Kailyn played together nicely.

At home we set up Javin's Slip-n-Slide at the bottom of the play set slide and added water to the mix and "Presto" - Water Slide fun at home! It was a fast ride down then a hard bump onto the ground and then a slide into the grass to stop. They had several friends over to share in the water slide fun this summer. Thanks to the Wengerd's for the idea.

Another day was spent at Coshocton Water Park cooling off in the water and racing down the slides. This was our 2nd time out there this year and a much warmer one than before. Javin found a buddy from school to go down the slides with over and over again. Kailyn was all over the water play gym. She said her favorite thing was swimming underwater although I don't think she did much swimming underwater. She does put her head under though. We brought some friends along on this trip and I got to take the boys on the tube slide a few times. Javin and I also took our turns on the body slide.

Here's to keeping cool in August!!
