August days...

August can be brutal sometimes - because of the weather in NC and because it seems like school should be starting but isn't quite yet.   Mom got creative this day...I think we went to the library first and then headed over to a little old-fashioned soda counter in downtown Cary for some hotdogs (that's where the hats came from).  I was grateful for my new i-phone because after we ate it turned out we had a little adventure walking around the area.  There were quite a few things to explore - sculpture, balconies, and outdoor art.  We stopped at a local bakery for a cookie before we left and before cheeks got too pink.  We had a pretty successful morning that turned into an afternoon too - perfect!




 

 

Hmmm...how can we do an art project and have a snack?  Like this!  






Exploring the art museum inside and out is always fun...


and the new addition to the Natural History Museum is amazing!





If the morning is a little cooler than normal, a bike ride on the greenway is a must,




but don't get too hot and discouraged when the chain on your bike falls off!


Can't forget about the good old YMCA pool - good for taking care of hot afternoons!  Caleb continues to be a great swimmer and goes down the water slide on his own all the time.  The girls have achieved expert level jumping off the side of the pool and swimming to mom, and can doggy paddle and tread water quite well!
