Back to Normal

After having the grandchildren here for 5 days and having 'historic heat' as the weatherman put it, we are back to normal.
The temps hit 106 at our house yesterday and the day before for the first time in recorded history. Seattle has never recorded any temperatures over a 100 degrees. Since our normal for this time of year is 77, we were ill-equipped for the heat - ie. no air conditioning, but we survived and are enjoying having our usual summer weather back again today.

The children are now with their other grandparents until their parents return on Monday, but we had some great summer fun with them while they were here. We went to the ice caves, went blueberry picking, played in a local river, and the local lake.
Here are some pictures of our adventures over the past few days.

Also in preparation for Drew and Sarah's return on Monday, we decided to surprise them by washing their car for them. We all joined in the fun of detailing their car.
