You know you're in trouble when your indoor thermometers (both on the main floor) read 88 and 89 degrees. And that feels pretty cool when you come in from outside. And your 3-year-old has heat rash all over her shoulders and chest.
When you're in this sort of trouble, it helps to be about 10 minutes away from a large lake that's pretty chilly most of the year. It also helps if everyone has long-sleeved rash guard swimsuits from Land's End so that the slathering of sunscreen is kept to a minimum.
We all went down to Lake Washington and had a fabulous time. All of us enjoyed the cold water, and we were all much cooler and more agreeable by the time we headed home.
I have a feeling we'll be spending more time there this week.
