The heat wave continues... we have received little respite from this insane heat that consistently hits the triple digits, breaking 11 records so far this season. Today it is supposed to be 105! The heat makes it difficult for us to get out and about, since it takes a brave soul to venture out into this inferno, voluntarily. In fact, on the 4th of July we didn't see any fireworks--we were just too content on relishing the sweet, delicious a/c in our apartment that the only outing we managed that day was a climate controlled trip to the book store. Sigh.
Rockin' out at the "Domain" (an outdoor mall, and yes, it is actually called the Domain.)
Thankfully, during this crazy heat wave, we have a couple of nearby pools we can go to! This one is the main pool--it's a "resort-style" pool with an area for water volleyball, a waterfall fountain you can swim in and lots of lounge chairs in case you want to perfect your sun burn, I mean, sun tan.
We played mainly in the waterfall area that day. It's only two feet deep so we can manage Izzy more easily who is becoming quite the little daredevil! You can't tell in the pictures but there is water pouring down these steps into the main part of the pool.
An incredibly rare picture of a baby Sasquatch walking through it's native forest habitat. Why are these pictures always so darn blurry? Doesn't seem quite right... hmm, let me see if I can put it into focus... wait, that looks like a chair in the background, not a tree... just a few more adjustments...
...oh, whoops! That's just an incredibly cute baby Izzy in her native dining room habitat. My bad. Hee hee :)
On 4th of July weekend, we went to the Austin Children's Museum. It was crazy-packed with like minded, a/c seeking people such as ourselves.
Izzy, you're supposed to slide down the slide, hence the name!
Daddy and I tending to the cows. Those tiny udders are sure hard to milk! We only yielded a thimble-full that day.
Lost in the woods and left to rely on her survival instincts, Izzy befriends a bear family and they adopt her as one of their own. Boy, is Goldilocks going to be surprised when she visits their house!
Izzy falling in love with this ridiculously large rubber ducky. She even kissed him on his nose, er, bill, whatever.
America's Got Talent audition. She didn't do so well with her drumming skills but certainly won over the judges with her cuteness.
Further proof I can not leave my meat-eating husband with my vegetarian daughter alone near a BBQ. I must say, though, she got pretty good at flipping those steaks!
