Playing Anyway

Brendan is such a trooper. He loves to play....especially when the neighbor kids are out. It is SO hot in our cul-d-sac in the afternoon, but everyday, out he goes to throw rocks, ride his bike, and play all sorts of other games that they play out there. He comes in for a drink of water about every 10 mins, but back out he goes. Wyatt doesn't last nearly as long, but he hangs in out there pretty good himself. Most of the other kids in the neighborhood tell him they are going home because it is too hot to play. I hear Brendan saying, "No. Not yet. Just go get a drink of water. If you drink a lot of water, that will help you to cool off."

When we finally get to some cooler weather, I don't think he will ever want to come in!
