We are in the middle of a heat spell right now (above +30C forecasted
for all week) so we took advantage of Chris having Saturday off to get
out of our sauna of an apartment (no central air, thank goodness we
bought a portable AC for our bedroom and we aren't paying the utilities
here) and spent Saturday at the lake. We went with our friends, the
Crawford's, and spent the afternoon at the beach and then roasted hotdogs
and s'mores for dinner over the campfire. It was a great time and
hopefully we'll be repeating it again soon!
Too bad his shirt is on so you can't see his wicked farmers tan!
Macy wasn't lovin' the sand at first, it wasn't as nice as Grand beach.
Macy and Mabel, going for the cherries. I couldn't ever get a picture of both of them looking.
Hopefully we'll find ways to stay cool this week. Anyone have good dinner ideas to beat the heat?

Love Macy's towel.
Dad and I were just saying we were glad we had air conditioning because we have forecast for HEAT this week also. (I'll think about ideas for you.)
cereal....
I'm not a fan of cooking/baking in the summer. Luckily Taylor bbq's a lot on the weekends.
Other ideas: crock pot meals, salads, !cereal!
Summer cooking....we grill almost every night. I also do a lot of things in the crock pot...like dump a roast+salsa in a crockpot all day for tacos/enchiladas, or bbq beef/pork/chicken in the crock pot. Our summer meals are always lighter...we grill veggies in our grill basket a lot (zuchinni, squash, onions, tomatoes...whatever I have...with olive oil and spices), and we almost always have fresh fruit with dinner since so much of it is cheap and in season now.
I'm not sure if that helps at all, but that's what we do!
So I guess the real problem is that we have neither a crock pot or BBQ here...
