Beat the Heat

I worked hard for my Mom Stripes today. Despite the temperature hitting 94 degrees, I spent several hours outside playing hard with Owen. We splashed in the pool, soaked each other with squirt guns, and ran through the sprinkler. Luckily Logan was sleepy so he didn't require a whole lot of attention.

Owen was pretty funny when it came to the sprinkler. I ran through a couple of times to get him into the spirit. I ended up running through MANY more times because he'd push me from behind and yell "Go! Run!"

Chris spent most of the day at the doctor's office. He injured his knee at work last week. I'd love to share an exciting story about how it happened, but he tweaked it while running on a K9 track. Nothing special. Anyway, he came home wearing a brace and is on crutches. The x-rays were inconclusive so an MRI is scheduled. For now, he'll likely be placed on light duty for at least a couple weeks. Which means the backpacking overnighter I was hoping for next week is off. Major bummer!
