Today was still definitely hot, but we weren't out there sweating--except for Emma, who sweats like her daddy. We went out and spent some time in the shade. Emma drew with her giant sidewalk chalk. By the time she was finished, she had dust all over her, but she needed a bath anyway.
While Emma was drawing with chalk, Annie was busy working on jumping on the Zoingo Boingo. This is kind of like a Pogo Ball that Doug and I had when we were little--actually probably about 20 years ago. Is that possible?! I had no skill on the Pogo ball at all, but Doug was quite good. Annie is determined to be good at the Zoingo Boingo. It is basically a ball with a disc around the middle. Then there is a rubber cord that extends from the ball and has a handle attached to it.
Annie finally got four good bounces in a row, and she was super-excited about it. She wants to find out how many Uncle Doug was able to get--all those years ago.
We're hoping for more pretty afternoons. Even if we do have to be in the shade.

Annie, that looks like lots of fun! You look super cute and determined. Emma, I love your chalk drawing. How great to get to have some Sunday afternoon fun outside but how crazy when it is in the 90's and feels so much cooler! WOW. Just saw the weather and Friday it is supposed to be only in the 80's. Can't wait for sweater weather!!!
