Surviving the Heat Wave

Believe it or not, California can get HOT once in a while. In most places in the US, it wouldn't be a big deal if it gets hot, but here, most houses do not have A/C. It was so hot it actually got to 100 degrees. Last week we survived the heat wave by going from one water event to the next. On Wednesday, while I went to my swimming class, Newel took the children to the fountain to play. Later that afternoon we played in the water with our neighbors.



Thursday afternoon, another water event with some friends.



Friday morning, we went to the public pool...it was packed.




This is Maya with our friends Sasha (holding Maya), her husband Laurent, and their son Philippe (who is a day younger than Maya, but is twice her size). Phillippe fell asleep in the water. So relaxing.

Arden playing in the kiddie pool.









After the pool and quiet/nap time, we headed to another water/ice cream event.









Here's Arden enjoying his ice cream, and Maya playing in the water. It was so hot those days, that I had dreams of cooling down in a pool.
