Beating the Heat

Instead of hitting the swimming pool again the other day, Aubrey really wanted to go to the "pahk" (you would think the girl is from Boston). So I decided, in an attempt to still not suffer from heat strokes, to take them to a park that had some water fun too. Aubrey hates to get her clothes wet, and because she refused to put on her swimming suit to go there, (thinking we were going only to swing and slide and could not be persuaded otherwise), she spent the first several minutes crying and protesting and sitting on the sidelines watching mommy and Nahnie have all of the fun. Austin had a great time; he discovered the gun that shoots water at others. He found it amusing to try and get mommy as wet as possible. Aubrey finally decided this looked like fun too, and after watching her brother for a bit, she tried it herself, and finally got a little wet. Okay, soaking wet. A good time was had by all. And the swings and slide, which were too hot to play on anyway, were forgotten.
