Yikes, it's been hot around here!
 |
| Yep, that's 100 degrees at 5:30pm |
In fact, it's so hot that our beautiful state is going up in flames. And it's only June. Double yikes!
It's been too darn hot for my fair skinned, blond haired friends to even go outside. So, we've spent a lot of time inside potty training, playing trucks, and playing on the iPad
On the days that the evenings cool off enough that we can go outside, we've been finding some fun ways to beat the heat...
Like going for a walk by the creek in downtown Golden! While we were there we peeked our head into the windows of the fire station and were so happy when the garage doors opened and we got to have a personal tour of the fire trucks - complete with a fireman's hat and everything!
After we left the fire station (which is right next door to the police station), we walked out back and saw a Golden policeman standing outside his car. Caden must have been feeling pretty brave because he asked the officer if he could drive his car.

| We told Caden that he is only allowed to ride in the front of a police car. Ever. |
We've also been playing with the coolest bubble gun. I can't remember who gave Caden this for his birthday, but it is a BIG hit. In my experience, bubble guns usually break immediately upon opening. But the "Turbo Bubble Gun" is awesome and makes unbelievable bubbles!
But, without a doubt, Caden's favorite way to beat the heat is to play on our neighbor's Slip and Slide. He started out scooting down on his bum...
...or running...
...or crawling
But after a little help from a friend
and a snuggle from Mommy to warm up
He totally got it!
And he ran
and splashed
Until he crashed
Hope you're finding ways to beat the heat too!
