Trying to beat the heat

As most of you probably know (since most of you live here :-)), the NW has been unusually HOT this summer. We even broke the record for the all-time high temperature last week. We were in the 100s for a few days straight. And most of us do not have air conditioning. Even with multiple fans blowing on her, Kaylin would wake up dripping with sweat after her nap. Some days she wouldn't even nap at all. We went to bed late and got up early because the house was so hot. It made for one tired week. We're finally down into the 80s. It's still hot, but it's a lot more manageable.

One of the things we did to beat the heat was go to the Cedar River. After spending an afternoon at my friend Mandy's house, enjoying her air conditioning, we took the kids to the river. This was the third night in a row that we took Kaylin to the river. But this is the first time I had my NEW CAMERA.

Here is my first picture ever with my new camera:

Next time you go, let us know! We'd love to go. We always head to Honey Creek or Coal Creek... my kids love it.
