The Day It Finally Cooled Off

Last Sunday, the very long, hot spell was finally broken. It had been several weeks at least of temps above 100 degrees, with the heat index often 105-110 degrees. It was awful and it felt like we were living in a cave, keeping the blinds shut all of the time, only emerging first thing in the morning, when it was often already 80 degrees and very humid. So on that day of relief (which was the Feast of the Assumption), when it began to rain, Dan let the kids out to play. They went a little crazy and quickly got soaked:


A wet Dominic climbed into the back of the truck. I'm not exactly sure what he is doing.

Anne happily rode her bike in the rain. Wheeee!

Anthony came out to enjoy the cooler weather:

Joseph got a ride in the stroller, which is rare these days.

And oh, what a ride he got! If I got this video on here correctly, you will see Dan running with the stroller (with Joseph in it, not Anthony), chasing the other kids around.
