We have had some very high temperatures over the last few weeks. On Sunday, all of us were tired of sitting at home in the air conditioning, but it was too hot to do anything outside (about 110 degrees at noon). So, we took Abby and Jacob to their first movie, "Cars." We went to an early show and had the theater all to ourselves. Jacob enjoyed the stadium seating and we made about ten trips up and down the stairs. They both liked the popcorn, too. Jacob was thrilled with the big screen and could not stop pointing at everything with lots of "oohs" and "look at that, Mommy." Abby, on the otherhand, was nervous and held her ears from the loud noise. They were very well behaved and lasted an hour (Abby was apprehensive about the whole ordeal). After the first hour Jacob asked to go bye-bye so we left.
Later that afternoon it was still hot (102 at 6pm) so we decided to meet the Parker's at one of the base pools. Abby and Jacob strapped on their life jackets and we hit the water. With their fair skin we really don't get out in the sun (or pool) to often. They both did a very good job. Each of them went down the slide. Jacob really liked the slide and couldn't get enough of it. We are looking into some swimming lessons later this summer, but we were very proud of them. I think we will try to go to the pool again this weekend.
Blake and Dylan are doing very well. Dylan had his middle school orientation today. He seems very excited to be a 6th grader and is looking forward to his Mythology class. Blake and his mom are heading to NYC next week for a school trip. We are very excited for him and know he will have a blast on his first trip to the Big Apple.
We hope everyone is doing well and I'll post some pictures soon.
