Keeping cool with friends.

Thursday was supposed to be the worst of it.  I decided enough was enough.  I took the kids to swim class and then pulled them from tennis.  Instead we had a quick lunch and headed down to Larchmont to hang out with Aiko and her kids (in the AC!)  I took her two oldest with me and we all went to the movies.  She treated us to dinner afterwards-again in the AC!  What a difference a cool day makes.   here they are (some of them) playing legos.



When I got home, I looked up at my car display and saw this.  And this wasn't the crazy high temp you see when you first get in your car.  This was after the air conditioner was on for the half hour home (which usually adjusts the outside temp correctly).  Too too hot! Especially for the evening!



We gave the kids a cool bath before bed (which has now become a ritual).  Lucas was very lethargic and screaming that he didn't want a bath.  I felt him and he was burning up.  Turns out he had a temp of 103.  I was getting concerned that the lack of AC was getting to him (regardless of all our fans and water drinking)  I gave him some motrin and checked his temp three hours in a row.  By midnight, he was down to 100.  Woke up happy as a lark the next morning....who knows.
