Turning up the heat

It was ridiculously hot here today, especially after enjoying some relatively cool weather in the UP of Michigan this weekend for a friend's wedding.  Evan went to his first wedding - well, he went to the reception - we chose naptime over the ceremony for him.  He LOVED being at the ski resort where the wedding was held.  He kept Jake and I on our toes the entire party, running up the hills and looking for the moon.  Did not love the bounce house.  I think he was in there a total of 30 seconds.  But he found ways to keep busy...

Then today, when it was too hot to do anything, Evan participated in a kiddy parade for a 4th of July festival near by.  Evan's buddy Alvin rode his Strider bike and we decked out Evan's stroller (instead of the wagon so he could have shade) - but in the end Evan wanted to walk.  As he turned more and more red, we had to shed layers, douse his head with water, and walk through an open fire hydrant to cool off.  I tried to show the progression of the evening below.  After the car ride, we stopped for dinner out, and once he cooled off, he was back to his crazy self.
Hooray for central air.

Scoping out the bounce house at the wedding

Trying to figure out how the dance floor showed up in the middle of the tent, in the grass!

Doing his best dance move - sprint from side to side laughing!




We kept trying to find shade during the line up.  Evan had a patriotic lei to wear, but in the end he shed it.

Evan on the left, Alvin on the right (33).

Check out Alvin's patriotic bike.

Shirtless.  And you can't tell in the picture, but both boys had their nails painted by the high school girl's basketball team.



AC blasting in the car - now you can see his painted nails.  Daddy hasn't seen them yet....
