Beating the Heat

It's not even summer, and the heat and humidity have been near unbearable. We picked up a "personal mister" at Home Depot (which has quickly replaced Target as our regular weekend outing) and gave it a whirl one evening when the boys got home from daycare. But instead of a fine, cooling mist, a 20-foot geyser came blasting out of it (the pressure even launched the mister valves into the air). The picture below shows Wyatt's reflexes as he reacted to getting pummeled with water. Dad turned down the water pressure so that Max could have some fun. And have fun, he did. Now it's nearly impossible to get him to come inside!

Active days make for a tired Max. He has some very odd sleeping positions, and this one baffled us. Yes, he was sound asleep for this picture! We were impressed that he managed to cross his legs and balance himself on one foot.
