Super HOT Sunday!

Sunday was 90 some degrees.  It was HOT!  But we wanted to have a fun day.  Sooo...Sunday morning we loaded up our bikes in the back of my husband's truck, packed some snacks and a small cooler and we ventured out to Kensington Metro Park.  It seemed like a good way to spend a family Sunday; a little bit of biking,  trailing around the beautiful sights and scenes of the park, a stop to the petting farm for Carly, a quick brunch and a nice leisure bike ride back, then back home to our cool house. 

When we got to the park Carly and I hit the nearest playground while Chris set up the bikes & carrier.  Carly was having a mini melt down about the fact that I would not fit on the slide and go down with her.  It was actually pretty funny and it earned a laugh from one of the other mom's walking by with her little one in the stroller.  Carly thought she was pretty funny to...

Such the faker!

I finally convinced her that holding my hand would have to do to go down the slide. 

I confess it was partly a selfish suggestion...I love it more than anything when she holds my hand!  She squeezes my fingers so tight - it's the best!

Finally we started our biking trip...we biked a few miles (a few long, very hilly, very HOT miles) to the petting farm.  Where, upon arriving, Chris realized his back tire of his bike was flat.  Did that stop us from enjoying the petting farm....nope!

After making our rounds to see the animals, I quickly hopped on my bike and rode back the very long, hilly, HOT miles to the truck and drove it around to pick up Chris and Carly at the farm.

Now as I have mentioned a few times, it was very HOT on Sunday.  And while we enjoyed our cool ride home in the air conditioned truck, when we actually got home we were greeted with another surprise...our air conditioning at home was OUT!  So what does one do on a very HOT day with no air conditioning....we go outside and play with the water table!

Chris turned the sprinklers on for Carly, but she was more concerned with watering my flowers, then running through them.

In fact, she did every thing she could to NOT get sprayed by the water! 

After water time was over, we came back into our very HOT house and took a very cool bath...after which my Love Bug was treated to a Sunday pedicure!

We did try to call the air condition fix it man to come out, but he couldn't do much until tomorrow...so you know what we did then on the very HOT Sunday in our very HOT house.......absolutely NOTHING!  It was too HOT!  At 85 degrees (which is what our thermostat read in our house) you do whatever you can to keep cool...which isn't a whole lot. 

And so now as I write this, I have a sleeping, underwear-only-clad girl laying snow angel style on her little couch, with a fan blowing on her...and you know what...it's the cutest thing ever!

It was a super HOT Sunday!  And even though we were gooy hot messes, we were a little crabby (because who isn't a little crabby in an 85 degree house), and didn't get our air fixed...we still had a Super Sunday - HOTness and all!
