I'm sure you all already know, but the last week has been one of the hottest on record for the Seattle area. And, as I'm sure you all know.....almost none of the houses here have air conditioning! So, having a week of 95-100 degree temps. causes for a smidge bit of discomfort! We were extremely fortunate though, our house is surrounded by trees...the warmest it ever got in our house was 86 degrees. We spent the evening cooking and eating outside and had fans blowing on us when we were inside! So, needless to say, we did anything we could to stay cool....luckily on our way back on Tuesday from sight seeing with Greta, she spotted a public lake!! I googled it found out the specifics and we headed out first thing on Wednesday morning!! That place was a life saver---we spent Wednesday, Thursday morning, afternoon and evening there....it was cool and shady...just what you need when it is 86 degrees in your house!! The swimming area of the lake is really clean....they have laid small pebbles on the ground, so it is not all squishy with mud. Gabe even lost his goggles and we were able to see them lying on the bottom in waist deep water...that would never happen in a lake in Kansas---once something is gone it's gone...just ask Shawn about his high dollar Oakley sunglasses that have resided in Fall River Lake for the last 10 years!! When Shawn came along on Thursday evening he even found a $5 bill laying on the bottom....now that is some clean water! I am so thankful Greta spotted this place....definitely a life-saving find....we may have melted at home!! 
Gabe taking a swim....he was practicing some of the strokes from swimming lessons!
Grady looking for his own treasure on the bottom of the lake!! No Luck!
Gabe getting ready to cannon ball off of the dock!! I was so surprised he wanted to give that a try....he is usually so cautious!!!
