Cooling off in the Summer Heat

Kids and dogs resting in shade

It was rather warm today and we kept the kids working outside most of the day. The shovels, hoeing, lifting, pushing and pulling were all labor intense for us city folks and we all tired out! By late afternoon, Kirk had a headache and the kids just wanted to rest a bit. The first thought was just to rest into the shade for awhile.



Sprinkler kids

But it wasn't long before the kids dug out the sprinklers and played in the cool water for awhile. I just sat back watched. That water is much too cool for me! They tried to coax the hyper hounds in to cool off also but we don't have water dogs! They just preferred a spot in the shade next to mama.
