Gotta wear shades

Lets chat about the recent weather.  Two months ago we spent as much time outside as possible because it was unusually cool for our area.  The weather was in the 70s and 80s and we tried to soak every minute of it up.  We went on bike rides, spent a good amount of time swimming and of course Grant could be found camped out on the patio watching tv.

a leisurely bike ride for A, not so much for Grant who has to pedal for both of them.

...today is another story

We try to spend as much time indoors as possible not only because it is 100 degrees outside, but because the lack of rain in our area has not helped to contain all of the fires.  Our house is now plagued with runny noses and soar throats because we are living in a constant state of smokey haze.  The weather can stay hot, but the smoke is a real killer.
