This week we knew the hot weather would be hitting...and boy did it. On Wednesday the temperature reached 100 degrees starting at 10:30 a.m. and stayed over 100 degrees until 6 p.m., reaching a high of 110 degrees. Matt took the kids to the beach to try and escape a bit of the heat and although it was a bit cooler, it was still roughly 100 degrees for a good part of the day. One of the few times to be thankful for cold water!
This week Anna has also started helping someone who lives close to our house that has a horse that needs some extra attention. Anna has been doing volunteer work to help out and got to do a bit of a ride on Thursday and Friday after doing the chores. The heat made her thankful she was going in the morning before the heat really baked everything, but it was still rather warm making her glasses slide down often.
On Friday night we went to our usual spot to watch the first fireworks show after a local baseball game. It was a warm evening and we only ended up putting on our sweatshirts because there were so many mosquitos! Yikes!
And today we headed to a local park for a picnic lunch and a bit of a hike. The kids had fun seeing which rocks would break apart when they tossed them on a cement block.

A rock tower we made before leaving.
Then we went on our hike. Olivier had to climb the rock wall...and I was glad when he jumped down he didn't break himself!
And in a silly side note, the boys are side by side this year in their school yearbook for the first time. Normally they are under their teacher, which has always been different. This year, since there was such a mix of which teacher they had with remote learning, in person learning, etc, all the kids were just listed by grade. I took this photos and when I sent them in it didn't seem like they looked alike, but seeing them side by side...wow, they sure are related!
Today it was a warm day but thankfully it was cool this morning and it has cooled down tonight.
