So hot today - we had the kiddie pool in the front yard all day, and I sat out there and read while the kids splashed around. Although I was feeling a bit guilty about all the water use; damn I hadn't realized that thing holds nearly 700 gallons. I did use it to water the planters after.

Avalon is absolutely fearless when it comes to insects (spiders are another matter, but she's totally absorbed that from her dad). The water chased this beetle out of his hiding place in the lawn and she was quite fascinated with him. Quite a set of jaws, but he never tried to use them.
