Backyard Swim Party

The past several weeks has been ridiculously hot.

The boys beg to go outside and 10 minutes later they are sitting in the shade begging for freeze pops.

The only way to make outside play bearable is to be playing in the water.

But even then, it is still too hot to be out in the middle of the day.

So today we waited until after four and then we splashed and sprayed in an attempt to burn off all the excess energy some of us have been unable to burn off in this heat.

Squealing with joy (and not in the house).

What? Alabama? This would only happen in our backyard, but I'm happy to be your stereotype. And, besides, look at that tummy.

Yes, mommy will continue to take your picture until you stop whining.

Magic.

Adorableness, even in the camo hat. {that he loves} {and is the only hat he will wear for me} {so I suppose we will be seeing more of it}

Here's to staying cool.
