It's Hot as Hell and We're Not Going to Take It Anymore!

Today we lost power at our house. In one fell swoop, we lost air conditioning and Sloane's swing -- oh the horror. There was only one thing to do. We decided to go somewhere even hotter than our house: Van Nuys! It was 110 in the shade -- well, 108.6, but who's counting? As Dan put it, it was 10 degrees hotter than his blood and 10.6 degrees hotter than Nick Lachey's band.

But, the pool was nice and cool. It was Sloane's first "swim" in a pool! She looked pretty adorable in her little orange polka dot bathing suit, if we do say so ourselves. She liked the water for the most part . . . as long as we were singing to her. I opted for songs from the Sound of Music, while Dan serenaded her with the Marine Corp Hymn and Dixie (he wasn't whistling it though).
