The next week was a scorcher with lows barely dipping below 90. Needless to say, we spent at least part of everyday at the pool. Tuesday was so bad, that our enrichment was moved inside and several people collapsed from the heat at the Refinery. Now, they start work an hour earlier in attempt to accomplish more before the heat sets in. Jared has to go an hour earlier too and we LOVE having dad home at 5. Although he's not so thrilled with starting at 6am. Saturday, our good friends, the Pearson, gave us tickets to the Cardinals day game. There were only four so we bought and extra one to get in and then all squeezed into 4 seats. The heat index was over 100 and we were in direct sunlight. Jacob took of his hat and shirt during the first half of the first inning. The nice man behind us felt bad for the kids and bought them all icecream bars. Good thing Busch stadium lets people bring in coolers. They also had stands set up with free cups of ice. We made it about 6 innings, all of our drinks, and over a dozen cups of ice before we left. The heat got the better of us. When it turned from "I'm really hot" to "I feel kinda funny" we knew it was time to leave!

We left and headed over to Paul's (Jared's cousin's son) baptism early and cooled off in the air-conditioned car and changed out of our sweat soaked clothes in the church. We had a fun evening visiting with Jared's aunt and uncle, Jon and Elise, and their family.
Funny how is was Paul's special day, yet I don't have any pictures of him.
