Today was the perfect end to a great weekend! After 50+ days of hundred degree weather this summer, we finally got a break in the heat. A cold front came through last night and left us with temperatures in the 80s. We took full advantage of the beautiful weather and spent almost the entire day outside playing. The kids were so happy and I think we were all in better moods today due to the fact that we could enjoy being outside without completely melting.
After breakfast at McDonald's this morning, we headed to the park to play. Even the huge crowd at the park didn't put a damper on Parker, Eden and Lily's excitement! They ran, climbed, swung, ate wood chips (Lily only!), slid down the slides, fed the ducks, and not once did we hear, "It's too hot!" or "Let's go home!". They would probably still be there right now if we had not had to come home for lunch and naps.
After rest time, we headed out to our backyard to rediscover the swing set that we forgot we had! Cory and Eden got the sandbox ready to dig in again while Parker and Lily played with the sidewalk chalk. Then they enjoyed swinging and sliding and digging and playing and just being outside! Thank goodness tonight was bath night because they were filthy by the time we came inside tonight.
I hate to see the weekend end but am so thankful for such a wonderful three days with my family, and I am really hoping that this cooler weather is here to stay!
