We have had a crazy hot stretch in Seattle the past few weeks (finally cooling down now thank goodness!) and this was a bit challenging for us and Oliver. Our house was a sauna after about 10am, so we had to get creative and find cool things to do.
It was my mom's birthday on July 24th so we gratefully took her out to dinner at an air conditioned restaurant on Alki beach. Oliver loves his grandma so much!
We had some time to pose for some photos before dinner ; )
Oliver was ready for a nice cool drink...sorry baby no margaritas for you!
But those chips and salsa sure looked good!
We also went out for dinner (too hot to cook!) with Derek, Daw, Trent and Grace at our favorite Thai restaurant. Oliver was hilarious - he had a great time!
We spent a lot of time on the futon on the first floor, as it is the coolest place in the house. This is where my mom sleeps when she is here, but as soon as she left all three of us camped out down there until she came back! It sure was a lot cooler.
We ate outside most nights after the sun went down - Oliver seemed to like eating outside too!
It got so hot that Grandma went out and found a wading pool (they were all sold out at target and she had to go to a hardware store to find one!). Oliver was very happy with this development.
Especially when Daddy joined him for a dip!
Luckily the high was 70 today - all is right in the world again. Seattle is not supposed to be over 100 degrees! Now if it would only rain.... ; )
