Hot Days & Cool Fun!

We are surprised at how hot it has been. The locals tell us that these are very abnormal and it is normally high 80's to very low 90's in the hottest part of the summer. We hope their right about normal because we have seen 101 degrees...which make us miss Texas a little bit less!

To beat this heat, we treated Braden and KaraBeth to a water park near downtown right along the Ohio River. Best part (for Dad)...free and open to the public! Best part for Braden and KaraBeth...

Braden:

"I liked it because my dad surprised us by taking us to this place. We didn't even know where we were going when we got in the car...but he did. I liked it because we got totally soaking wet and we were not hot. We also got to eat snow cones before we left. My favorite part was when dad got in the water with us and played monster chase with us."

KaraBeth:

"Um, the big play ground equipment, the big humongous one. Um, the water and the, um, the water poles that shot water out all over us and made us totally wet. I also liked the canoe that you can sit in and the sand box that we could play in. I also like it when daddy chased us through the water fountains."

Take a look...
