We are trying to break a record here in the Dallas area. The mercury has hit at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 consecutive days in the DFW area. The record is 45 days, set in 1980. The "cool" thing about this heat wave and drought is that receding Richland-Chambers Reservoir has revealed a small, unmarked 19th century cemetery. Two persons remains found thus far.
But on the less somber side, we have still been able to enjoy ourselves despite the heat. We headed to the Arboretum this week and spent the morning there before the more severe heat hit. We had not been there for over a year since Keri was sick last year. It was great to stroll the grounds again.
They had several fairy tale castles on display depicting a variety of tales from around the world. It was fun for the kids to go in them and try out some of the thrones.
There were still some beautiful blooms and the koi kept the kids entertained, especially because one of Rhys' favorite words is
fish.

After we walked around for some time, we decided to cool off at he frog fountains. Keri brought extra clothes and towels because there was no doubt with the weather that we were going to miss the fountains. So Keri found a nice spot in some shade and let the kids enjoy.
