Stay-cation Day 1

Every summer, I take a couple of weeks off from my (often very stressful) job to spend time with the girls, doing things that we all love to do.
I happened to take this week off.
The hottest week of the year.
And I feel like I've just won the lottery.
These are the days I live for.
Hot.
Humid.
Ahhhh, YES!
This morning, we ventured down to Lake Harriet, a place where I spent countless days in my 20's when I first moved to the Minneapolis-area. I love that place.
It was 10am and these girls were sweating to the point of visible drops running down their faces. We cooled off in the bandshell (concrete was cool), while watching some crazies run/rollerblade and bike past us. Of course, my girls (loudly) pointed out every man without a shirt, asking me "why is he running nakie?"!
Regan wasn't much for taking pictures this morning. She's a lot like Ryan. Gets hot quickly and has a hard time cooling off.
The dock was our last stop, before racing back to the air conditioned car. We love this dock, despite the stinky smells from washed up fish-icky! So many fun pictures of the lake/girls over the years.
And of course, with 100+ heat/humidity today, we spent the afternoon in the pool with a great group of friends and a playdate!...complete with chocolate cupcakes for dessert!
Just what will tomorrow will have in store?!
