The Pacific Northwest has been hit with a heat wave this last week. Normally, in the summer, we get a few really hot days....up into the 90's, but this entire last week, we have been in the hundreds (106 on Wednesday) or near hundred...and let me tell you....WE ARE NOT USE TO IT. And many of us do not have air conditioning, so for all of you who are laughing at us because 107 in "normal" in your neck of the woods, try turning your air off for a week and you will know what most of us are feeling.
Anyway, it got down to 98 here today, and Tina, her husband Ron, there two boys,Eli and Ethan, and Sabah and I packed up and headed to Hagg lake for the day. It was a perfect day. There was lots of shade at the picnic tables and the water was super warm. A bit muddy, but that didn't stop anyone from jumping right in....especially little miss Sabah. This girl LOVES the water and she was constantly trying to go out further and further. The only unpleasant part of the trip is that the yellow jackets seemed to LOVE our picnic table....I think it must have been over the nest or something because we seemed to be the only table having such issues with them. There were literally no less than 10 bees at a time on us, our food, or flying near us. So totally annoying. But, we didn't let it spoil our day. We all had a wonderful time, and can't wait to go back.

I totally feel for you. Yes - we are equipped here in AZ. I am not sure how you can even sleep! When the AC isn't cutting it, my kids sleep with an icepack :) - we also use them in the car for the carseats - just some tips to help you survive!
Cute! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
So cute:o)
