Escaping the heat

I really can't complain - this has been a very mild summer. But the one time it reached 107, our air conditioner broke. The repair guy couldn't come for 2 days. It was so hot, we had to go out for ice cream cones, take cold showers, sleep outside and think of air-conditioned places we could go during the day. Luckily, the kids had just earned their free children's museum passes through the library's summer reading program, so we went there one day.



Spencer has outgrown it (he didn't go), but the other boys just love imaginative play. 









They used to have mostly girly dress-ups, but now they even have zombie attire.


Turns out our A/C had a broken fan motor, and it only cost a couple hundred dollars. We were afraid we'd need a whole new unit. Actually, the guy said that it's a good thing we turned it off when we did or else it would have broken even more. We've really appreciated our A/C ever since, especially this week when it's been over 100 again.

Looks like fun! We went to Bounce U the day before School started with a Groupon and I filled out their paperwork while they bounced. Pluses on both sides!
