Picture Perfect ... Almost!

I feel like this is the summer that just won't quit!  Don't get me wrong ... I love summer!  When we can go to the pool, the park, and the beach.  But right now it's the end of September and none of those things are possible.  They are either closed, too hard after school, or too far away.  However, the weather seems to have forgotten that it is now officially Fall.  The good thing about hot weather is we do get the chance to play outside.  Today the kids did their usual after school outside playing ... swing set, chalk, and bikes!

It's no secret the weather around our area has been scorching, hot, humid, and generally unfit to be outside.  Today was no different but we braved the nastiness for a bit this morning to go to a community first responders festival. The kids got to sit in a police car ... this better be the only time I see them getting into the back!   The got to practice how to get out of their rooms and house if there is a fire. They got to sit in the driver's seat of a fire truck! But the highlight was putting on the fire marshall's boots!
