Staying Cool

We've been feeling really grateful that the heat hasn't been too bad so far this summer. This week the forecast is all above 100, but the last few weeks we've been mostly in the 90's. We've got some hot months still ahead of us no doubt, but thankfully it has held off for a little while. Even in the 90's you've still got to find ways to stay cool though and we've been doing just that.

For Zuri this means putting to use really light blankets and not wearing nearly as many onesies under outfits as the other kids did- we love those 1 piece outfits that have a front skirt attached for little girls.

This past week we stayed cool by meeting up with friends at a playground splash pad, attending a pool party, and going to an indoor kids play/ exercise place called JumpFit Kids with the Swenson's. I only have pictures at the pool party because I'm still figuring out how to lug all the things I need around for 3 kids and not forget the camera.





For record sake- Rori spent almost the entire 2 hours going down the water slide with her best red headed buddy from Nursery Kinzie. They basically only stopped for a quick lunch and the popsicle in the picture.



And lastly this picture cracks us up. Zuri is the baby on the right and on the left is Ashlyn who was born 4 days after Zuri. In Zuri's defense Ashlyn was born a few weeks early and is teeny- but still look how long Zuri is!
