High Heat and Birthday Bash

Yikes! It was over 100 degrees here today! I'm not liking this overly hot weather at all!

We went to our very first child's birthday party today - that is, a child that is not related to us! One of the couples that we went through our foster training with was placed with a child soon after they were licensed last October. And now he's 1 year old and the TPR should be done on September 1 so they can officially adopt him! The party was a Hawaiian Luau, and in their backyard, and they have a pool, so we were all able to at least get wet and slightly cool off when it got too unbearable. However, the water temperature of the pool was probably close to 90 degrees! But at least we could cool off some. Our two little ones seemed to enjoy the pool. And I did the underwater test with both of them. They passed! They both went under without a problem, and our oldest went under twice. I'm trying to get them ready for swim lessons. We're hoping to get our 16 month old in lessons within the next month.

Tomorrow we are headed out to the lake to celebrate three family birthdays - my dad, my grandma, and my brother-in-law. My parents have a place at the lake, so we'll be able to swim and relax in comfort! The only saving grace with this hot weather is our easy access to swimming!
