Heat Wave

It is really hot here. It makes me think of The Sandlot

This is the current forecast

Despite the hot weather we have done some fun things

Kim and the kids have been going to weekly outdoor activities sponsored by the library. Here is Lyza making rain clouds with shaving cream, water and food coloring. As you can see from her facial expression she wasn't too thrilled by it, but she enjoyed the rest of the activity!

 After she gets to play at the park

Kim took the kids to the splash park 

 Nixon liked laying around

 Yogurt tube on a hot day 

 Park

 Another day at the beach. Lyza was doing her best to keep this big hole filled with water

 This weekend was the Post Falls festival. On Friday night we went down to the city park. There were musical performance, vendors selling stuff that we don't need or can't afford, and of course, lots of yummy food. Lyza liked her elephant ear

 Of course we had to check out the park while we were there

We got some cute pictures of Nixon while Lyza was playing in the park

 Saturday morning we went to the parade. It started at 11 am and it was really hot! We took chairs and a giant beach umbrella. We were in the shade the entire time (except Lyza while she was collecting candy) and it was still ridiculously hot.

 There is no better parade float than a giant piece of construction machinery

 Lyza loved waving at everyone

 An eight-man bike driven by Shriners. Their average age was 75.

 They also had a bunch of these little go-karts

 One of them chose Lyza to give this little teddy bear to. I think it was a "cutest kid contest" and of course she won!

 She loved running out and getting the candy

Nice tractor 

Bagpipes 

 She liked getting a balloon kitty

 After we got some hotdogs and had lunch under a big tree 

 She got some pretty good loot

Here is a video of our happy little boy to finish things off

Take care and stay cool
