This week was so Hazy, Hot and Humid we had to cool off. Earlier in the week we took a day trip back to the Merrimack River in Massachusetts for some fun on the Tree House boat again with my mom and her friend.

Captain L. got in some driving but needed some assistance navigating under one of the bridges from the real captain of the boat. She likes to swerve around and laugh while driving and that makes her steering less-than-accurate.

L. drives the boat, sort of

On this trip though the kids spent more time in the water playing with Grandma than riding in the big boat.

But with a rocky bottom and muck (the Saco River by our house has a lot less of both), the girls decided to borrow some swim shoes from Grandma. It was a tricky fit for L's little feet.

Her finger on the end of her big toe indicates they were more than a few sizes too big. But it kept her feet comfortable so she didn't complain.

And between dips, of course L. had to explore every little space on the boat.

The next day we were still boiling hot back in Maine so I took the girls and a couple of their friends to the Saco River.

What did you and your kids do to stay cool this past week?
