What Was I Thinking?

 

What was I thinking, taking my grands to the zoo this afternoon, when it was 92 degrees?

I was thinking that tomorrow the projected high is 95 degrees, so today was cooler.  I was thinking this was the last good day for an outing before school starts on Wednesday, since we're all busy tomorrow.

It was HOT.  The kids were very tolerant of my taking lots of rest breaks and then downright calling it at the end of a couple of hours.  We stopped for ice balls on the way home, and that was lovely.

At the giraffe exhibit is a measuring stick, and both kids measured at 5'9", with shoes.  Nora's days of being the taller sibling are coming to an end.  She's a sophomore this year, Aaron is starting eighth grade.  Although, he red shirted a year before starting school because he has a September birthday, so he'll be 14 in a few weeks.

Those grands though - they weren't bothered by the heat.  Nora is coming off a three-week all-day band camp at her high school and Aaron has been out with his golf team.  He decided to take a break from football this year to try out golf, which he also likes.  The heat, to them, was just more of the same.
