Today is a cooker! I delivered our CSA baskets around noon today (to avoid the late afternoon heat). It was 93 degrees when we got home. Lu is taking her naps in our closet today (we have a window AC in our bedroom). John and I spent the afternoon in the basement, so Lu could fall asleep.
Here are some pictures from this weekend. It was hot this weekend too. We had the Cow Town Hoe Down in New Salem. We brought the kids to some of the events on Saturday morning...Parade, Craft Show, Calf Bottle Relay. Then we had the neighbors watch the kids so we could go to the street dance in the evening. We didn't dance, but it was nice to visit with some of our friends, listen to some good music, and have a relaxing night out.

Mandie & Paul (friends from college) stopped by for lunch on Friday. It was great to see them and meet their cute little girl (Ruth's niece).

We live at the perfect distance from down town on the Cow Town Hoe Down weekend. We're close enough to easily walk to the festivities, but far enough away from the evening "riff-raff".

We got to the parade about 1 1/2 hours early so that we could get a good spot in the shade. It was supposed to be really hot on Saturday. (Thankfully it was nice and cool until the parade was over, then it started to heat up real quick.) Once we got our chairs set up we walked down to the coffee house for some coffee and tea, then had time to play at the playground!

Sunday was pretty hot. The kids were in just diapers all day (after church). We sat down for a while to watch Cars.
Olue is up from her nap now...I'll get those July 4th pics up sometime...:-)
