Its all about keeping cool

I will say right off the bat that I'm not complaining. I know there has been terrible heat waves all over the country. For us it has been normal July 98ish degree days. However.....98degrees is still pretty hot. So for us it has been all about cooling off.

You all know I love sprinkler pics, its one of the only times I can catch the pure happy expressions of the boys. Normally something about seeing a camera pointed their direction brings out the fake smiles.

Once Dewey started this, all we heard was "again, again"

Such simple fun, such happy boys

A few days ago we had to drive to St. George (about 45 minutes to the south of us). Generally we love going there especially in the winter when it runs 30 degrees warmer then our mountain town. We are even fine going there in the summer if we are headed to a pool or say Costco with its air conditioning. This trip was for work...... outside.... in 112 degrees. Dewey had it the worst by far. Mostly I just tried to keep the boys from over heating. We were in a part of town we were not that familiar with, as we were driving the boys spotted water spraying. Of course we had to stop and investigate. We found the nicest little park set up, with water features.

Luke LOVED the random water sprayer. (Kolby was not a fan, too many kids I think)

Luke has no fear and ran right out in the middle with everyone else.

Keep in mind we had no idea we were coming here so off came the shirts and shorts it was for water play.

It was such a cool set up, waterfalls, little rivers and rocks to jump off of.

Their favorite part was a little "river" type area.

Whoever came up with this idea for kids is brilliant. It was packed, we were not the only ones that had the idea of cooling off in water.

We have a new favorite place to go in the summer. I have promised that next time we go we will be a tad more prepared with say swimsuits :)
