In and Out

It's been super hot lately (especially for us Alaskans) with temps around 98 degrees with over 50% humidity. We bought a reflective sun shade for the windshield of the car, but that doesn't block out all the sun - I'm sure we could cook some eggs on our dashboard. The poor girls have to get in their car seats and the metal buckles brand their legs! It's definitely not nice stepping outside from our cool AC at home to a hot hairdryer blowing right in your face...but hey, summer lasts longer here.

So here are a few things the girls do - swim in their kiddie pool out back or we stay indoors doing crafts or visiting the library (or any place with Air Conditioning).



Madeline is in the purple shorts at the end of story time at the Topeka library getting a sticker. The local news anchors read to the kids and there's also a library employee who sporadically has the kiddos sing and dance while he plays the guitar. This library is AWESOME! They have a ton of programs for the kids and adults, there's a huge area for the kids (think Berry Room in Fairbanks times 6) with all kinds of animals, computers, fun things for them to crawl on, and even a place for them to make their own puppet shows. Very cool - we love it there.

This is just outside the law school building. I was going to make the girls lie down underneath the eagle as if it was going to snatch them up, but the rocks were way too hot for that today. I'll get a silly photo of them soon :)
