Oh, the plans we make. Thomas really wanted to get us out as a family this weekend to do something out of town or something different. Getting out of town was everyone else's idea, so we decided to stick around town.
Tempe Beach Park has a kids splash playground, which sounded like a nice reprieve from 110 degree heat. We arrived to discover it was closed for the season (c'mon, Tempe, it's only ONE
season here!).
We wandered for a bit to see the sailboats and found that the paddle boats were a reasonable price for a short trip. Connor was too young to ride, so Ian and Daddy went on their own, with Mommy in the standard photographer role. Connor was appeased by having an ice pop while the boys took their ride.
Ian really enjoyed the ride, helping to navigate the boat in circles and under the bridge. Daddy kept them under the bridge and out of the sun for much of the time. Ian insisted that Mommy try next time and "you have to turn the rudder and then the boat will go the right way." We hope that we can take Uncle Michael and Aunt Terri next weekend for another ride.
Ian also had an ice pop after his hard work on the lake. Following our adventure out, we debated on getting lunch out, but saved our hard-earned money and made dino nuggets and sandwiches at home before an nice afternoon of staying inside, paying bills and taking naps. By the way, this layout was a mess and I give up trying to fix it!

Looks like nice cool day-yikes 110 and I thought our 100 was hot.
Holy crap! Who's the dude with the beard!!!! :-)
