Beach and a Pool

Summer has arrived! In fact, it has been so hot here this week, we have been scrambling for ways to beat the heat. We tried the beach on Tuesday afternoon which was fun, but Daniel was more excited that Grandma brought watermelon than playing in the water and sand. Later, we took a late night trip to the store in search of an air conditioner for Daniel's room, and that helped him sleep better. Yesterday we broke out the Giraffe Pool, and the first thing Daniel did was pee in it. We're not sure if he was "claiming" the pool, or trying to warm the water.

Daniel's 7th tooth came through this week, and we'll probably have an 8th very soon. His doctor's appointment for today, just a well-baby check up, was cancelled today so we'll need to reschedule for another day. Today begins the Soo Locks festival in town and the one day a year people are allowed to cross the locks into the engineers' building. Now that our afternoon has been freed up, we may find ourselves down there later today.
