A Hot Day

May 22, 2005 on 7:38 pm | In Main |

It was a hot day, with a record high of 109 degrees, but it did not reach the forecast high of 112 degrees. Still, it was hot enough that I took the kids into the pool twice today — once in the morning after I finished the yard work, and again after dinner.

I cooked barbecue ribs on the grill for dinner, and it felt like it was so hot, that I did not even need to turn the grill on. I cooked some corn on the cob as well as the ribs, but the corn wasn’t very popular.

Ethan is getting comfortable with the pool. So far, he has been content to just sit on the pool steps. Yesterday, he braved going down the slide, and today, he actually pushed off the steps to swim out to me. Sean is pretty much a fish in the pool. I brought out the dive toys, and it did not take him much time to relearn to dive down to get them.

The water is still too cold for Cortney. The water temperature was 81 degrees this morning, which was described as icy by Cortney. This evening, it warmed up a couple of degrees, but still not enough for her.
