Hottest Day in 85 Years

Friday July 22 was officially the hottest day in 85 years. It was 103 degrees. As you can see our thermometer read 103.5 outside and 79.9 inside the house. It is our "Ally and Mommy weekend" since Becky is on Nantucket, lovely, cool, beachy, refreshing Nantucket visiting her sister for a long weekend. So Ally and I were left to deal with the heat.Ally's babysitter Lauren brought her to school and picked her up and brought her home and played with her all afternoon so I could work. When I came home at 330 I took the picture above.



Ally and I agreed it was too hot to even go to the movie theater. So we watched a movie at home in our cool house.

We had dinner and then it was only 99 degrees so we decided to go to the park so Ally could cool off in the fountain.


Now is when I got picture happy. Ally was so happy and loved playing in the water, I just could not stop taking pictures. It was AWESOME to watch.








Then she started putting her head directly in the spray of the water.




then going over to the drain and shaking the water off her soaking wet hair into the drain. Odd if you ask me, but she loved it.



The water gets so big.








There were 2 other girls there for a while but eventually she had the whole fountain to herself.






She took a break to swing, do the monkey bars and hang on everything conceivable at the park. Gosh she is so grown up.


Then it was back in the fountain - her she was trying to jump up and touch the water with her head!








This was really a grimace of glee.








Eventually it was time to get home for bed. But Ally was in such a good mood she did not even complain.
