Friday after school it was soooo hot and sticky in my classroom that I tossed all my work into my school bag and headed out the door. The third floor is not a good place to be on a 90 degree day! I called ahead to Mom and Dad's to ask Emily if she wanted to go on a Walmart shopping spree for bathing suits then off to pick Erin up, home for dinner, and some water fun. She was game of course! After dinner, I hooked up the Elmo sprinkler (our little red monster friend still sprays and spins after several years). Em's friend, our neighbors' granddaughter, came over as we were changing to see if she wanted to slip and slide. The girls had a great time with Abby. Erin wasn't too keen on the shark but she enjoyed the small pool of water that formed at the end of the slide. Both Emily and Erin enjoyed Elmo, too, especially taking a refreshing drink. We stayed out until 8 PM...it was still over 80 degrees!
