Attempting to Beat the Heat!!

News alert . . . 

Big heat wave in the Heartland!

This week the temps have been in the high 90's -- as in a temp of 99 degrees

with high humidity making the heat index temp at 105 on Monday!

She kind of likes jumping into the pool!

Yes, Monday -- the day that Miss Maddy has her 

zoo crew job from 8 am to 5 pm.
The heat wave is continuing through the entire week.

So, we're doing all we can to beat the heat, 

including cranking the AC and

spending nearly evening at the pool!
Best place to go after a long and hot day at the zoo?
Definitely the pool --
especially on Mondays - walking taco night!

We also may have indulged in refreshing drinks occasionally
 over the last few weeks!

Care to join me in a Root Beer Float anyone?
Yes please! 

Cool Pool Time at WDW

Who doesn't love some relaxing time at the pool??

While we thoroughly enjoyed the rides and 

the parks and the characters, the temps were

rather toasty warm in Orlando!

So, we also enjoyed 

some pool time!

Miss M loved the lazy river pool!

She talked me into getting in too - which was loads

of fun . . . 

until I tried to get out!

Holy cow, it was a little tricky to get myself 

out of that tube!  

I had to maneuver myself through the 

inner tubes full of laughing kids, 

over to the stairs and catch a railing to pull myself out!

Guess my flexibility and strength training both need to be ramped up a bit!

Hiding my hair under a hat -- an everyday occurrence at WDW!

Our schedule most days was to head to the parks early

and then back for some cooling off and rest time

before evening activities started!

It was perfect!

We miss Disney World already!
