We're having a heat wave...

Hi,

Well, we have been having a real heat wave in Montreal for the last few days. On some days, it has reached +36. Needless to say, we have been seeking out ways to beat the heat in Montreal. Therefore, we have been hitting the sprinkler parks and pools in our area with a vengence! For example, this was our schedule last Wednesday. The boys and I walked (dripping and miserable the whole way!) down our street to a brand new sprinkler park. We spend almost 2 hours there. Then we walked to Laurier park and had a picnic in the shade. Despite the shade, we got hot again and made our way to the pool in the park where we spent another couple of hours. After we walked home, we were hot again so we filled the pool on the back balconey and turned the sprinkler on. When Vincent got home from work it was too hot to eat in the house so I packed a picnic and we headed back to the sprinkler park where we ran into about 4 other families that we know (everyone had the same idea apparently!). I have actually been grateful for the days I work this week just to have air conditioning!!

Yesterday, we also spent the morning at the sprinkler park with my friend Liz and her baby and the boys had a great time. I should be able to post pictures in the next few days (our new computer has arrived!) so you can for yourselves the boys having fun in the water.

Tonight, we are leaving for Michel's cottage once again so we will at least be close to a beach and we can put the sprinkle on in his back yard (plenty of room for the boys to run!) Our friend Hélène may meet us there on Saturday...

That's it for now!
