Hot Dog Days of Summer

Well, the high for the coming week is about a heat index of 110 degrees and boy have we felt it the last couple of days.  Toby and I on Thursday decided to take our little camper out to Rivers Bend and get another excursion in before summer is over.  So we packed our camper quickly and headed out to get a spot b/4 they were all full.  We got it out there and enjoyed a fire with some friends and Toby stayed overnight while I headed home with the kids.  Friday about 12:30 I got back out there with the kids and boy was it HOT!  You either had to be in the air conditioning or in the water.  To the beach we were headed to stay cool.  Trey dove right in the water with his tube floating like no care in the world and Aubyn grabbed her trusty scoop and bucket while I put up the Large umbrella to shade us from the mighty sun.  There we all sat relaxing and enjoying the HOT day.  Aubyn soon found the water not long after her bucket was full of sand and I was close by to attend.  This little girl has no fear and loves to frolic in the water and fall to none the less get a big mouth full of lake water!  After a lot of splashing and playing in the water it was time for a snack under the umbrella. Nothing like a cold juice box and Cheetos and raisins.  Then another hour or so of playing in the water and we were shot from all the heat.  I tell you what you don't appreciate air conditioning until you sweat just sitting and doing nothing.
Saturday was really fun at the beach b/c Dad was along.  Even Toby went swimming in the water.  It was again so hot you either had to be in the water or in air conditioning.  After a couple hours at the beach I took the kids to Grandma Lori's house to cool off and get some rest. Aubyn took a three hour nap and Trey took an hour nap.  I even got a little snooze in and did not want to go back to the hot camp ground. But we went back and packed our stuff up and stayed for a fire and of course the evening at least gives you a rest from the hot sun beating down on your skin.  All in all it was a good weekend, but I don't think I will plan on camping when it is that hot again.
